Spencer Potter, a 28-year-old DJ from Weehawken, NJ is selling the famous 867-5309 phone number along with his business on eBay. As of Monday morning bids had reached $5,100. The number was originally made famous in a song by Tommy Tutone.
Potter claims that he has received about 40 calls a day since plugging in the phone. Potter also met a woman by answering the phone. The woman used to give the number out as a fake and one day decided to call to see who was receiving the calls.
Normally phone numbers cannot be sold but since the auction includes the sale of the DJ business Vonage, the company that assigned the number, has allowed the sale to take place. Potter hopes to make at least $40,000 from the sale.
