I did a quick search and didn't see a recent reissue thread for this year so I figured I'll go first...
Not necessarily complaining, but I'm awfully intrigued to know if there is any group of people that has first crack at these tags? If there's anyone, whether it's CPW employees or just people in the right circle, that can buy the reissue tags before they are released to the website?
I saw a tag on there this week that I wanted (and thousands of other people too), so I got all prepared to throw my name in the ring to try to score it this morning.
I think we all have our own little tricks to try to score them, whether they work or not who really knows. Going off of mine, I feel pretty confident that the tags weren't officially available to add to cart until 11:04 this morning.
Where it gets interesting... after officially striking out on the tag, I checked the leftover list (which is what they move the reissue list to after releasing the tags). The report was ran at 11:00:01, and the tag I was after was not on it anymore. Don't get me wrong, I have no doubt that the tag would sell in a second, but something seems fishy to me.
1. There is a note that "due to delays in processing, this data may be up to one hour old".... so I'm assuming it's safe to say that the data is not updated to the SECOND.... but ONE second after the tags are supposedly on sale, there is already a report run without the tag on it?
2. I could be off on what time the tags were available to add to cart, but even if I'm off on the official exact time, I'm willing to bet most folks who were on there trying to get tags today would agree with me that they definitely were NOT available to add to cart at 11:00:01 am. Even if they were, how could someone load the tag in their cart at 11:00:01, buy the tag, and then CPW has time to run a report at 11:00:01 that is updated to show the tag not on it?
Bottom line, I think the reissue concept is a very cool thing and I'm still thankful to have at least some sliver of chance at tags I didn't draw, but I think the process is being falsely construed to the public. It's hard for me to believe that these tags aren't being purchased before 11:00am, when they are supposedly released to the public for purchase.
