My finger is getting sore....When I have hot auctions I bet I check or refresh my page several times an hour. Starts at 6am and ends around 11pm....A true auction junkie. On the other hand, if I have a bad weekend and the garage sales suck, (bad auctions, unusual) I wont even pet my dogs! Ebay owns me!!

Several times a day, especially when I have something hot for sale. I like seeing how the numbers move up and also studying when bidders and watchers are likely to be doing that.

Twice a day, In the morning, & in the evening. I can't get too excited about an auction. If I have auctions closing, at 11:00Pm, then sometimes I check before going to bed. Otherwise I check in the morning to see if an item sold. After 4 yrs. I don't get too excited anymore.

I remember when I first started on eBay and would check my auctions every half hour. Back then items where bringing unbelievable prices. Now over 4 years has gone by and sometimes I forget to check my auctions all day if none are coming off that day. The fun has gone now it is just a job.

The refresh button has worn out on my keyboard - LOL.
I agree, when I first started, I would wake up in the middle of the night to check my auctions - prices were so great back then (oh the good ole days).
Now, I refresh during the last 5 minutes of auctions that have some (any, I should say) action on them.
I still check my auctions daily, but not nearly as much as I used to. I check in the morning, in the afternoon & in the evenings before bedtime. This is good in case I think an item should be doing better & I can then decide to stick it in another category for the remainder of time.

In AuctionTamer, it automatically updates your auctions the closer they get to ending - every time you get a new bid, you hear a coin jingle.
