How frequently do you check Audiogon listings?

Over the past few days I have offered to buy from sellers two items: a CJ amp and Harbeth 7ES speakers. In both cases I inquired probably within 4 - 6 hours after they were listed. In both cases I was the fourth person to offer to buy the amp/speakers (and there were numerous inquiries for both). Both items were listed below blue book value which obviously caused a bit of a feeding frenzy. When I am looking to buy "new" gear, I check listings perhaps five times a day. Apparently, some of you are not being attentive enough to your job assignments at work and are spending far too much time near a computer!! Think of the fall in GNP if this continues!

Every 15 minutes if I'm actively looking for something. Else I'm down to once a week like now. Yep once a week if at all. You have to check as often as you can, in order to catch those deals like you just missed. I can also check via my cell phone or my BlackBerry, but audiogon is near impossible to navigate that way. But I use them if I have no choice. That's pretty much when I have "money in hand" and "want that below market price deal ASAP."

Lately I've been hitting the forums 5x day. But I don't look through the classifieds at all. That's likely exactly the opposite of how most vist audiogon.
