How frequently do you check Audiogon listings?

Every hour or so. If I'm actively looking for something I may look more often. If you look frequently it doesn't take much more than a minute or so to review the new listings. I've missed quite a few great deals by being to slow to respond so I've learned the hard way!

3 or 4 times per day, unless actively looking for something.

I have been actively looking for a pre-amp on the 'Gon. I had it narrowed down to three units. If one of them came up and things seemed to be in order I would make the purchase. I was probably checking classifieds about 5-6 times a day. Like the post above I too learned the hard way. By the time an initial inquiring email had been sent, responded to and an offer made I was the 4th or 5th guy on the list.

Searching even more frequently and forgoing the initial inquiry contact and going right into "I'll take it" mode, I still ended up losing out on a pre-amp posting that was maybe a few hours old!?

Then I got serious (obsessed?) and ended up searching a few times an hour if I was in front of a computer hoping that something would come up.

Patience or maybe just luck prevailed and I found exactly what I was looking for.

It's not like it used to be thats for sure.

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.
