Was it really sold on ebay?

Asked by babygalll (2768points) April 7th, 2008

What is the story behind this 80’s song 867–5309/Jenny? I know it was a real number of a girl named Jenny, but is it true that this number caused a lot of commotion? Is it true it was sold on eBay?

“In 2004, the putative owner of the 867–5309 phone number in New York (area code 212) put it up for auction on eBay.”
