Good, but not good enough ;-)

I have 07xxx 888166 and a friend has 07xxx 111911 ;-)  Both were purchased
over the counter without any special number being asked for.

(Incidentally, in both of the above two of the x's are the same number..!)

True, but yours is only a Sheffield Wednesday number.  You could sell it for
more than you paid for it but ring one of the networks and ask about "gold"
numbers for the real deal.

Sheffield Wednesday, I'll take that. In fact my team York City has just
taken one of their lads on loan and he scored twice against Mansfield on
Tuesday (closed door match).

Anyway how would I list it on Ebay (as in title)? I presume the term is
"Gold" and not "Golden."

just search on ebay for "mobile number". i just had a look and found a few
good ones, and also some really bad ones which i dont think are particularly
memorable. Last 4 digits the same is pretty cool, but i still think mine is
very memorable and i'll be keeping it for as long as possible (its
xxx19491952..which i always say as nineteen fourty-nine, nineteen fifty two)

A good flying mate of mine has 0781xxxxxxx where all the Xs are the same number.
   His son (the other director of the firm) has the same, with a different
number for the Xs.   He got three of them as part of a "deal" he was making.
No, they are not for sale!   He offered me the third one, but I prefer to be
more incognito, so he's kept it for future use.

Some of the stuff offered as "Gold" is frankly not inspiring.   I reckon
anything worth having has gone already.

Indeed, I know someone with 077xy xy xy xy

I'd pay at least £200 for that number!

I'm very happy with my numbers, maybe not "gold standard", maybe silver?:

07879 xyyyyy

and

07775 xx5yy5

Have no idea how much they are worth.

I wouldn't be surprised if you could double that offer or more in Chinatown.

That is  the reason I got it. Lots of friends from the Pacific-Rim / Far
East. 888 being very lucky, as you know and 888888 being a blinder.

Did you pay the network extra for it? Just wondering if they knew what it's
worth.

Good grief!  There aren't half some barrels being scraped on there.

I don't think my 07a7a wxywyx is that special, but it's better than some
of the stuff they're describing as "memorable" on eBay!

(Course, if anyone wants my non-memorable number I'd be happy to
negotiate terms :-)  )

I'm not in UK but I consider my number a good one: +country (area) 3x1 3y1
(where y = x + 1).
