I ve tried to sit and hit refresh on ebay to watch for a deal  but 10 minutes is about my limit..I get to bored after that....whats the longest anyones spent sitting in front of the old computer hitting refresh every few seconds to try and get a good deal.

Are you talking about refreshing to bid on an auction, or are you talking about refreshing to see if anything new comes up? And I would think if the latter is what you are doing you would be looking for BIN deals?

When I was unemployed I once sat for 9 hours refreshing about every 10 mins looking for deals, and sadly I didn't find a one :'(

now thats what i call hardcore  :)

Just use a website watcher and put the link you want it to refresh in the program and it'll refresh its-self for you every minute. Of course you'll be getting hits to games you may not want but its better than using your fingers and having a sound alert you when the page is updated.

The only time I constantly hit refresh on eBay is if I'm sniping an auction.  If you're talking about hitting refresh looking for new items to pop up, I have never done that.

Why the heck can't eBay just have a clock that counts down on auctions that are ending soon!?
