Just curious as I have not been online up until now for 6 months and just bought a laptop. How many times a day do you check Agone for good deals?

Almost never.  I don't even keep it in my favorites.

That is the only way to nail the best deals.

Far more than I care to admit.

well if you are looking for something in particular do a search and start bargaining with the seller.

You can scan through the http://buy.audiogon.com/cgia/fsb.pl?0&1&t">NEW TODAY list as often as you like...we're not stopping you....in fact let me guide you to a nice advertisement right http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/search2.pl?seller&Heavystarch">here.

Which of my personalities are you asking?

Seriously...sometimes I look once a day, but other times I "save it" as a treat and browse through about two weeks' worth at one sitting like a fancy-dancy gourmet meal. Trouble there is that many of the great deals are already gone...  :lol:  8)  :?

For me it depends - if I am just keeping tabs on the used market then I read the new today once a day.  IF I am actively looking for a particular toy, I likely check that section 3-4 times per day - case in point - when I was looking for a cheap tube pre with 2 sets of pre outs, and enclosed tubes, I was on that Tube Preamp link many times per day.  Now that I have sent the payment off for one, I am just checking once per day, waiting for the buyers remorse thang to hit, when I see a different pre that meets my needs for less show up... it will happen, but hopefully I will like what I bought enough, that it will just revert to following the market.

On that note, I am not sure why I follow the market for used high end gear at all - I guess it is just what I do, for the things that I am into.  When I was building up Suzuki motorcycles, I was checking about 5 sites daily, following that market.  Now that I have sold those all off, and come back to the audio game, I do the same for this.

Just my addictive personality back at it again I guess!

3-6 times on the new today.  I check closing auctions about once every three days.

Once a day unless I'm on the hunt...then I check 2-3 times a day.  I do a zip code search often just to see whats near home...maybe once a week.

I see how it is now, I'm obviously not a "local audiophile buddy"  :roll: . My feelings are hurt beyond repair  :cry: .
