    First of all, I'd love to know how this guy got this number in the first place. That's nuts.

    Secondly, it's almost $9,000 with more than 7 days left in the auction. I bet he gets $15-$20 for the number.

    Some people are just "lucky", with a little help I'm sure....

    the endless 3am drunk calls would make the number worthless.

    Years ago a pizza place in Toronto were named for their phone number and did a jingle on radio that I still remember 967-1111. They spent 10s of thousands on radio advertising to get that in everyone's heads. Tommy Tutone has already done it for this number. I'm betting a business buys it and it will seem cheap compared to advertising. The obvious business of course would be an escort service maybe called Jenny.

    My bet is that wouldn't be the first escort service on Phunk's cell phone under the heading of 'call when drunk'.

    Somehow I bet the phone company screws this guy and tries to claim the profit on it.

    If you have a problem & think that someone else is going to solve it for you then you have two problems.

    You have got to be shittin me

    $25K for Jenny's number?!?!

    Do you suppose that it's because I don't have that kind of disposable income that I find this so absurd?

    Well, it does make good business sense if you work the angles a little bit.

    11:30est.
    138 bids.
    $40,100

    Does this not constitute a bidding war? We've moved well beyond "disposable income" at this point. That's the silliest thing I've ever seen.

    It's funny, the only reason I could see for anybody paying that much for the number would be for the local Jenny Craig branch. That would be some slick marketing, but for $65,000? Sheesh.
    I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

    If you owned a pizza restaurant in NYC, that would be one hell of a number to have. I mean how much do you figure pizza joints in NYC pay to get their numbers in front of customers? Hell, then you have to get rights to use the song in ads and name it Jenny's pizza and you are going to make a pile of money off that.

    It would also be an advertising deduction.
