867-5309 - Jenny Don't Change Your Number On eBay

One of the last remaining 867-5309 phone numbers left in the country is for sale on eBay.  As many of you know the number was made famous by Tommy Tutone in 1982 by his song called 867-5309/Jenny. 

Many people thought 867-5309 was the real number of a girl named Jenny.  The song caused a blitz of people dialing 867-5309 (which was a valid number in the US) and asking if Jenny was there.  Now many years later most of the 867-5309 numbers have been taken out of service because of constant nuisance calls.

However, there are a few left and right now one of the last remaining is on eBay.  A New Jersey DJ is selling his 867-5309 number and claims he receives between 8000 - 10,000 calls per year making this the perfect number for a business.  To check out the auction here is a link, 867-5309 Phone Number.
