[OT] More Amusing eBay Auctions

Oops, I must be suffering from brain problems myself :-). Here's a link...

That is insane. $20k with 6 days to go yet. The guy selling the number is gonna be laughing all the way to the bank.

Hell, it's up over 30K now.... lol... still 6 days yet. 115 bids thus far.

Damn.

Nah. No way, I'm not buyin' this for a second. I'll bet that people are bidding it up with a plan to stiff the guy and have him go through the BS with ebay to refund the seller's fee.

If this is for real, it's got to be the most impressive gain I've yet witnessed on an eBay auction. I can't remember the activation fee for a cell phone these days but this is simply amazing. If I had the money, I'd be more interested in buying one of these F/A-18A Navy Blue Angel Hornet's, myself.

$230k right now. The guy's a lucky schmo that wound up having a popular number. Now he's a rich lucky schmo.

JS

That's just insane. $200k for a number that all kinds of weirdos would be calling just out of curiosity.

I was almost thinking you were right but look at the auction now.

I'm thinkin' Larry Flynt or somebody in that industry wants it for *something*. :D Call Jenny! __ John C. '03 Cobra Convt.

I'm thinking it's a scam, and that none of the bidders OR the seller are actual... but then, there are those pesky Ebay fees.....

HOW did the bid go from $201k this morning when I first looked at it to only $80,700 this afternoon? Something stinks methinks

methinks your correct.... they just removed it from EBAY

Apparently the guy doesn't have the right to sell it because he doesn't own the number. Or so I've heard.

I missed this,what was so special about it ??

It was a number used in a song by the newtones (Jenny?)

How's the climate under that rock? :-P. Tommy Tutone. "Jeeeenny I got yo number.... 867530 niiiiiiiiieeyine..."

Cold and damp, pretty typical for Seattle. :)

Ah here it is:

(Listening)

Ah, yeah. I remember the tune, but I think I was a little young to remember the lyrics, and I definitely didn't remember the artist. I would have said the same thing as Paul before listening to it again. I'm guessing he's my age or younger...
