Golden Number

Hi Folks,

I've just had some Virgin Sims come through and one of them has what looks to me a pretty good number - any idea's on what it's worth and how to sell it.

The number is 0775* 9*7777. The * are the same number.

Best thing to do is put it on eBay starting at 99p. It will be worth the value of the highest bid. That wasn't meant to sound glib - things are only worth what somebody is prepared to pay for them.
Look for successful completed auctions in that category as an indicator.

Stick it on as a **GOLD** number in the title, that will help attract attention...

Yes, but make sure you don't say "L@@K" in there as well..:)

Don't hold your breath, I had some gold numbers in the past from sim cards and once got around £30 for 123, recently put on a 666, a 888 and a 999, only managed a few pount each and they were all Virgin sim cards with £5 credit too.

Agree with above comments- only the market can decide whats worth what with these. I sold 4 O2 sims last week for £10.50 with what didn't seem particularly interesting numbers. Similar previous ones have gone for a lot less.

As an aside is there anything else apart from L@@K which is really naff? I find the use of "NOT" particularly irritating, e.g. "Robots for PS2 not xbox gamecube pc...."

it's the "not" that gets right up my nose. Do they not (sorry) think that if we are searching for , say, Timberland, we would be interested in something that is not Timberland - or maybe they know something we don't.

I get annoyed with VINTAGE when it isn't

yes or a PS2 console with NOT XBOX 360, like someone who wants a 360 is going to say, oh good idea i'll buy a ps2 instead!

Doing this is against ebay's rules as it's keyword spamming. If you see any auctions doing this report them. There's nothing worse than doing a search only to find everything that's NOT what you want.

Thats exactly right. I sold one recently, and even seeing what else was avalible doesnt tell you much. If it helps, mine (that ended in 400 500) sold for £80.
