OT Some people have way to much money

Bill: I hear what you are saying. On the other hand what a gimmick for a small independent businessman or entrepreneur. Who can remember the telephone of a good local plumber or landscaper? "Call Jenny at 8675-309 to get your pipes cleaned". Advertising is very expensive and this number just might pay a tremendous dividend in the long run.

867 is also an exchange here where I live. I remember back when that song came out, that was the number of a local junior high school. For a while they were getting hundreds of calls a day before they finally changed the number.

Good point Steve. That would be a good phone number to have for marketing

Here is why.

It seemsthat Verizon thinks that people do not own phone numbers, so they cannot sellthem, so e bay pulled the auction.
