One of the cell phone companies has a TV ad with this number and song and talks about phone number portability. Looks like someone got smart and stole the idea! ;)

LOL, I'm watching Shrek on NBC right now...A commercial just came on for the 11:00 news, and this was the headline story!! :)
OMG, it's up to $25,000!!! With more than 6 days to go! Can you believe it? Who has that much money for a phone number??
I was reading this to my husband and said that it's probably a company who is bidding for the number. He said, "It's probably a sex line operator." Hope that's OK to post.

Yes! I came here to post as well. I told Dh about this just now, he ran upstairs and said, "It's up to $500,000 now!!!"
I am watching it closely, just curious whether the winner will actually pay. If the deal does come through, somebody is going to be VERY VERY rich and happy... Will IRS get involved??? ;-)
Edited to add that I've also e-mailed the link to Tribune columnist as well as Dave Barry. lol. And as my dad would probably say, "Only in America!" ;) Really, how did you come across this auction in the first place!!!???

I only see it at $230K. (Only she says with an eyeroll...) The website is up for auction too.

My DH almost dropped the baby when i showed him the auction!
Who are these crazies who have so much $$$$$ to spend on a phone number? Who would want a phone number that everybody knows and some crazies might actually call? And how lucky is the guy who had the number and the insight to sell it on ebay!! He can retire after the auction is done because i am sure it will go up to a million or so (still 5 days left!!). So many unanswered questions!! :)

I can not believe this! Gosh I wish I had that kind of money, I could do alot with that. I seriously wonder if this is just a fun see how much I can get auction and not for real? There were quite a few bid retractions if you click on bids..

HOLY SMOKES!!!!!! Please someone post when the auction has ended!
Something's obviously up with this. It was up to $526k last night, then $230k, now it's down to $80k with all of the retractions. Now that seems so small compared to what it was, but it's still insane. I'm curious, as well, if it'll end up selling for a crazy amount.
I wonder if Tommy Tu Tone or the record company will try to claim they get a portion of whatever it sells for!!
