For sale: 867-5309

[tharpdevenport]

Whether you like the song or hate it, or never heard it, you likely know the repeated refrain of the phone number 867-5309.

Couple days ago I saw on the news it's for sale on eBay (crappy CNN link).

Here is the auction: CLICK ME


Bid is currently at $434,544.44. I don't know about you, but paying to get between 8,000 and 10,000 calls a year seems annoying. That's nearly 28 junk calls a day. Then take into account this phone number is being sold by a DJ company, means you;ll be getting other call throught the year ontop of that.

Hardworking small businesswomen like her are what will get us out of this damn recession.

I'd rather buy BEechwood 4-5789. I'd get calls from a better class of rock fans.

Never heard of it. Pennsylvania 6-5000, now, that I've heard of.

My land line's number is actually very similar.
