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!

While not quite strung out like a lady of the evening on dope, methamphetamine or the free base of cocaine, I find myself checking listings at least once per day as part of my normal waking routine and then again in the evening. Its mostly vicarious except if I am looking for a tube or something very specific. As a broke collector of bigger and more affordable pieces and not a wheeler dealer, if I miss out Cest le Guerre. I've got to start selling off stuff to keep me wealthy enough to continue buying significant items, but that hasn't stopped me from thinking I would surely like to try this or want that.

2-3 times per day. Every few hours if I'm looking for something. It is frustrating to get beaten to the punch, but it's a lot better than getting outbid by some software program in the last 20 seconds of an auction at ebay!

You can always post a wanted ad too......When I sell something and I get 3-4 offers within minutes of each other I prefer to deal with an Audiogon member with a lot of good feedback vs. an unknown.
