Gene if you actually read the entry it isn't for the number but the domain name, all seems a bit sus to me. ]:)

I really think it has all become a game to some of the shmucks over there. ]:) I think your right, just look at the bidders list of the people who have withdrawn and who have been rejected. Jack -- Edited by jamajack at 02/05/2009 6:16 AM PST

This ad below was in my local paper on Sunday: NJ disc jockey to part with Jenny's number WEEHAWKEN, N.J.: After five years fielding thousands of calls to one of rock 'n' roll's most celebrated phone numbers, disc jockey Spencer Potter is hanging up on Jenny. Her seven digits are familiar to anyone who paid attention to pop music in the early 1980s: 867-5309, immortalized by the band Tommy Tutone. Potter and his roommates requested the number on a lark for their home phone in northern New Jersey. They got it, along with about 30 to 40 calls a day. The 28-year-old Potter says he's selling his business, A Blast Entertainment, and moving to New York. The business and the phone number are for sale on eBay, where the high bid was about $1,000 by Sunday morning.

One guy starts and tries to sell a phone number etc and then all the sheep figure they can follow his cue and they can get in on the money bandwagon also. Look at the web site below and see what 50 other guys want to do. http://shop.ebay.com/sis/_W0QQ_kwZ867Q2d5309Q20phoneQ20numberQ20inQ20NYCQ20areaQ20Q20Q20DJQ20company... 08675309QQ_idZ260354849950 Jack

what a lot of wankers LOL ]:)

[barrysfp45]

I see it sold for less than $170,000.00 seems a far cry from the $400,000.00+ bid from last week LOL ]:) -- Edited by barrysfp45 at 02/13/2009 4:12 AM PST
