Vancouver’s Best Painters Purchases The Phone # 604-PAINTER FOR $50,000.00

October 30th, 2007 by admin

After hounding the owner of the Fido cell phone number: (604) 724-6837 (604)-PAINTER for over 3 months he finally gave in and accepted fifty grand to transfer ownership to Vancouver’s Best Painters. What an extraordinary coup and yet another example of everyone else asleep at the wheel while Vancouver’s Best Painters continues to out-smart the competition. Having 604-PAINTER as a point of contact is almost an unfair advantage and will benefit 15 authorised Service Providers who will each pay $5000.00/yr to use the number in the area they purchase. First out of the gates is Paul Murphy; formerly from United Painting, who is the first to purchase this number and has the exclusive rights for arguably the best area in all of Canada; Vancouver, west side; north to the water (excluding the downtown core) , south to Marine Drive, West to the Endowments Lands and East to Boundary. Way to go Paul, welcome aboard!
