How obsessed are you to be hanging around here to read the latest on the new dollars, platinum mintages, VAM's, extra leafs, Mint snafus, eBay scammers, buffaloes, etc.

    I probably spend about 30 minutes to an hour. Could be doing something less productive and I tend to always learn SOMETHING!!

    I watch it all day long while I am here in my store. Cummulatively, I would imagine probably an hour or so/day.

    It's cyclical. When I'm sick, on vacation, and snowed in (all of the above, this week) I spent an awful lot of time here. Under normal circumstances, considerably less.

    It's my home page. Cycling many times a day I go down the list of threads, right clicking then 'open in new tab' for each I what to read, closing as I finish. Six different forums, and research keeps me busy in my busy doing nothing day. Then I take a break every few hours to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine or fly a sailplane looking for lift. I only way I know what day of the week it is by the trash pickup. It's either Tues. or Fri. image

    As for me. I have it on all day floating in my tool bar, eBay floats when I have a coin for sale or tracking some coin.

    A wealth of information from smart boys and girls on this forum. A great thanks (from me) to all that have contributed.

    In total, about an hour to an hour and a half throughout the day. I'm self-employed so when I'm not moving snow I'm sitting at my computer going back and forth between the forum and e-Bay. So much to learn, so little time.

    BTW, some of the answers I have seen are way off time wise.

    I run a seasonal biz, so during the winter, I keep the forum on a tab most of the day. It teaches me so much.

    This summer I am getting WIFI at my biz so during down times I will here too.

    So my answer is all day

    a total of about one hour per day, broken into 3 or 4 sessions a day of 15-20 minutes each, on average.

    Sometimes not at all for a few days, other times more than an hour at a time (depends on what's going on inside the forum and outside of it)

    Unfortunately, not nearly as much time as I spend sifting and re-sifting through eBay auctions, in my (almost/usually) futile search to find accurately graded, reasonably-priced, original, NT, unmessed with, raw or TPG'd coins. image

    << <i>It's my home page. Cycling many times a day I go down the list of threads, right clicking then 'open in new tab' >>



    I do this too. I just recently discovered that I can hold down the ctrl key and click on links and they each open in a new tab automatically.

    Makes it really easy to peruse the "shared orders" page, I just go down the list and ctrl-click on each one on the page, then go back and read the tabs closing them as I go.
