kuma Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Not sure what is going on with the starting time(s) for the 24:24 Tuesday through Thursday but when I click on 24:24 for today the time said it started 1 hour ago and all the aged stock was sold. Has the time changed. I know that here on the east coast of the states starting time was 8:30 pm. So maybe a mod. or someone in the "know" can help me out. Does Oz have daylight saving time and I'm missing the boat by 1 hour. If I remember correctly it used to be "first in first served" but if it is starting an hour earlier then I guess that statement does not apply any longer.

Philc2001 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Yes, for the last 3 days I have tuned in right on the stroke of 8:30pm EST USA, and sure enough, most of the items have a big red SOLD on them. Probably a good thing in my case since I'm overbought already, but it does bring up the question of whether we are on the wrong schedule, or is there something else we are missing.

Guest robertsccr5 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Even if it starts an hour earlier, "first in first served" absolutely still applies...you're simply not first. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnS Posted May 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2017 It doesn't start an hour earlier. The 24:24 listings are hidden an hour earlier to prevent crashing when listings such as the one on Tuesday go up. You know, the one with aged stock that are hugely popular. This has been explained elsewhere on the forum. Also, El Pres has been always clear and honest in regards to the listings going around the intended time, give or take 15 minutes either way. From my recollection, it's very rarely even 5 minutes either way. I think at the end of the day whatever system is put in place to offer up this personally inspected stock will have its detractors, but at the end of the day you can only control what you can control. How the FoH team control their listing is up to them, and how the rest of us try to get in first is up to us. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester21 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I see the same thing and yes I have been one of the guilty parties. I have tried numerous things to get in faster buy I think that certain systems are slower than others. A crummy wi fi connection is the kiss of death. I have given up on the trophys and gone for the other stuff with much better results. In truth there are no bad cigars on 24/24. Plenty of great stuff to go around on most nights. Hang in there. From one who has missed a ton of stuff I am sure that this platform is honest and above board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuma Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Just a question PamunkeyHub know one is boo-hooing. I have the utmost respect for Rob and crew / 24:24. Yes aged stock does go very fast and I know that is the norm for 24:24 aged stock. I guess I have to start typing in hyper-speed (50 words a minute!) to lock down a fav. aged box! Stay well mates.......CAO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this kind of feedback is necessary for a legit question. There is nothing Boo Hoo about validating the time. The posting time is misleading, so it seems reasonable to ask if there is a difference in time shift half way around the planet. I think what Prez is doing us working. I remember when the server would buckle under the load, right at the moment when 24:24 used to go up. It seems much smoother and less error prone now.Good job Prez!

Agree to disagree... this question is asked and answered almost weekly. Taking five minutes to search and read a little would answer these questions. If you're serious about getting the 'cream of the crop' or locker stock from 24:24 - you should be on the site and ready to roll around 8:15pm EST.

TBird55 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I look at 24 34 as fishing. When you go fishing part of the excitement is never knowing what you will catch. If every time you went you caught something on every cast, it would lose its appeal after awhile. Or if you caught a trophy fish every time, soon they would quit being "trophys". With 24 24 you never know what you may pull in. Sometimes you strick out, sometimes you catch a few, and occasionally you land the trophy. Personally, I enjoy the whole experience. Just my 2 cents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dominattorney Posted May 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'm surprised people have been getting shut out. Myself, I find I'm sending emails hoping I'm too late, as my monthly budget could not survive another "You've got yourself a box!" email back from Di. Of course, I'm not looking at the aged stock, LEs, or Cohibas for the most part. Last thing I tried for and missed was the beautiful PSP trinidad coloniales. Wouldn't have had graduation money for the step daughter had I won that one. Is there a 12 step program I should contact? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
