Because I check very often. Like, every few minutes. Since I joined OzBargain, it has become one of my most used websites. :o

You never know what you could miss. O__O
I've missed a few freebies, I think that's helping to fuel the addiction. :PIt's sort of like gambling. You put your time in and see how much bargains you can get out from it.
Probably works in similar mechanism as gambling addiction, rewards, "scoring a bargain", at random interval with greater chance of scoring one if you spend all your time being here. :P
Before anyone asks, I was not being serious.
You may not be serious, but your theory isn't crazy. :D
@Wheatgrass: OzBargain Anonymous. We need one.

Even AA has a section for "Professionals".@Oversimplified:
First step is admitting you have a problem. I HAVE NO PROBLEM!!!!!!!
yep every few minutes when im not at work.
yep every few minutes when im at work.
haha lucky you
Too often ….
I think it would be easier to ask, when am I NOT on Ozbargain?……
I don't check ozbargain, I have dedicated monitor with 2minutes-autorefresh-chrome-extension-ozbargain webpage.
Yep.. I would say at least hourly when I'm at work…
I'm ashamed to say…
All the times.. even wakes up in the middle of night to find some bargains..
I've probably saved $1000 using ozbargain but lost $1000 in a potential bonus by viewing this site all day..
even steven is a given for a shiver if you have a fever
I checked "2-10 times a day" even though it was more… that's until I noticed the option for "Every few minutes, I think I have a problem" =_=
I think you can change your vote, but it's all good either way. :3
Haha, yes, I did change my vote ;) what I mean is I chose that option as it looked about right, then I noticed you had another more appropriate option so stealthily changed my vote lol!!
You have to check multiple times a day cause the best deals sometimes disappear(ozbargained) within a day.
Whenever I am bored at work. This means always.
Like many OzBargainers, I suffer from nightmares about a Boogieman named Gerry and need to check OzBargain regularly to be reassured that bargains (and also jv/Santa) really exist.
If I'm up late at night and just too frightened to sleep for fear of Gerry, I use the OzBargain Live page on my computer screen as a nightlight.
Sometime I fantasise about sitting in jv's lap in a couple of months time, telling him about all about the bargains I want for Christmas, while he teaches me about The True Meaning of Bargains.
When I really can't get to sleep, I also imagine that one of the OzBargain Mods will post a comment and offer to read me a bedtime story to help me sleep. This hasn't happened even once (!) and I think it's a form of neglect. :(
That's my 2 cents.
You are underappreciated Tas. :[
Thanks. Ever a niche audience, but I do quite like them.
Btw…
Chilling, potential, outcome, slightly overstated for effect.
A maybe less chilling consequence of April 1st 'Neil-nudge to T'nip', just dawned..Just a doddle, for a VBT.
(Very Brave Turnip).
i have ozbargain on auto refresh every 5 sec.
are you trying to DDOS ozbargain?
I literally have a monitor dedicated to it at work. Been addicted for too many years.
i also have a monitor dedicated for it at work
I also only have one monitor qq.
Now that's dedication.
Love ozbargin
Check it whenever I am using my tablet (few times per day). Love it and is one of my favourite websites.
Every eight years or so.
Every few minutes. It's a problem only when I can't do this.
