Del Plaza Timetable
One nation is open at a time. Each Del Plaza market opens at 12:05 PM HMT and closes the following noon at 12:00 PM HMT — twenty-three hours and fifty-five minutes of verified provenance upon the floor, and then the next market is made ready.
- Market opens 12:05 PM HMT
- Market closes 12:00 PM HMT
- Server refresh 12:00 – 12:05 PM HMT
- Open for 23 h 55 m
All unpaid baskets are emptied at market switchover
At 12:00 PM HMT the market closes and the floor is reset. Any basket holding no completed payment is cleared at that moment and cannot be restored. Settle your basket before the noon switch — or begin again when the next market opens at 12:05 PM HMT.

Your Local Switch Times
HMT governs every Del Plaza market — but nobody should have to convert a clock in their head. Your local timezone is read from your connection and shown beneath every HMT reading. Choose another timezone below to see how the same switch lands elsewhere in the world.

How to read these times
- 12:05 PM HMT is the governing reading. HMT — Harmonic Mean Time — is the plaza's own fixed clock, and it is the same for every visitor in the world.
- 7:05 AM your time is a courtesy conversion, shown beneath the HMT reading and never in place of it. Local times follow your own daylight-saving rules, day by day.
Location detection uses the free ip-api.com service. If it is unreachable — or you decline it — your device timezone is used instead, and you may select any timezone you please from the list.
The Calendar
The rotation is re-drawn every Monday: the seven markets take a fresh order each week, and no market returns to the same weekday two weeks running. Every listing opens at 12:05 PM HMT and closes the following noon — 23 hours and 55 minutes on the floor, never a moment longer than 24.

Notes on the Timetable
- HMT — Harmonic Mean Time is the plaza's fixed reference clock, kept at Makoua in the Republic of the Congo at UTC+01:00. It is never adjusted for daylight saving, so the switch is always at noon and always at the same instant for every visitor.
- No market is open for more than 24 hours. A market opens at 12:05 PM HMT and closes at 12:00 PM HMT the following day: a window of exactly 23 hours and 55 minutes.
- The 5-minute refresh. Between 12:00 and 12:05 PM HMT the plaza is closed while the servers are refreshed. No order may be placed in that interval.
- Unpaid baskets are emptied at every switchover. Baskets holding no completed payment are cleared at 12:00 PM HMT and cannot be restored.
