Stanford teaches an entrepreneurial course. During one of the courses students were given $5 to use to make money.

The group that made the most money did so by getting reservations to restaurants on Friday and Saturday nights and then selling them to groups who didn't have reservations.

I thought it was clever when I first heard about it but this type of thing is old hat by now:)

And this isn't frowned upon at standford?

pretty sure Dwight did this (The Office, US version). That's where I first remember hearing it

Interesting, I don't remember that. I do, however, remember him buying up all the unicorn dolls at Christmas and then scalping them to last-minute parents.

Yesm he made reservations at nice restaurants for valentines day six months in advance.
