Initially, a marketplace server receives an offer for sale of a telephone number from a seller. The offer for sale, including the telephone number for sale and the sales price, is stored in a database on the marketplace server. At any time thereafter, the server may receive a request from a buyer to buy the telephone number from the seller. A sale of the telephone number is then facilitated from the seller to the buyer, such as by searching a database of multiple telephone numbers for the telephone number, locating the telephone number, and contracting with the buyer to purchase the telephone number. Transfer of the telephone number to the buyer is subsequently effected and the buyer informed of the transfer.
