How much would you pay for a special number?

Got this spam text message by someone selling special mobile phone numbers. I’ve bought a special number before (ends with 5555) for about Php1,500 but I wouldn’t spend any more than maybe three grand for a really special one.

I thought it was such a lucrative business for SIM card retailers to be able to sell these special numbers (gold numbers) for as much as 200 times their street value.

Just look at these numbers:

0907.8000.800
0907.8000.008
Php8,000 each

0909.8888.855
0909.8888.833
0909.8888.000
0909.8888.111
0909.8888.222
0909.8888.666
Php8,000 each

0909.8886.666
0909.8888.988
0909.8888.788
Php10,000 each

0909.8888.882
0909.8888.883
Php20,000 each

Was shocked when I saw the numbers sold for 20 grand. Are people really buying golden numbers that expensive?
