Private plates

[ian]

I guess being a comparable industry, does anyone here also dabble in private registrations (the type you put on your vehicle)? Any successes?

Also, if anyone has a NN-LL, LL-NN, NNN-LL or LLL-NN plate on retention that they may consider selling, drop me a message.

Andy, not sure of the purpose of your website, do you sell plates on behalf of others, or just discuss them?

I own them all just like domains

8 K offer £100K from me

I think you just put a hole in Ian's plan with that one.

8 K offer £100K from me

I own a few mostly around my name or family name. Like my surname (same as my tag MORLEY) so I bought MO12LEY but have some other EXACT names too.

I keep saying I'll buy more, the DVLA auctions are brutal. For example my surname, the hammer dropped at 4k, then adding premiums, auction fee's and VAT, travelling and hotel stays it ended up over well over 6k. Similar story on other occasions too.

The "dealers" run almost everything worth a damn up to high xxx low x,xxx, so it would rapidly start to hurt.

Well I guess you've just crushed my chances then.

A small number but I got bored of them. I have a few on retention including D/A/V 2/D (I'm wondering what'll happen to D/A/V 1/D after its owner was killed; they might look nice together as a pair), F/A/5/7 B/O/Y which I had on two different Porsches (Google is your friend) although nothing as budget as a Cayman and that plate often turned heads and J/U/C 3/Y which I purchased at the same time as D/A/V 2/D and have never put on a car either.

haha, nothing budget about my Cayman. What Porsches did you have? If they were classics they are certainly worth more than domains ever would be at the moment. Sell me J/U/C 3/Y

@ian-d : if you send me a contact number for yourself I will pass the number onto him so you both can discuss

@4ndy : Because ian enquired first feel obliged to let them to try and do a deal first
If they cant I will put you 2 in touch.

Will try and see him this weekend at some point

Your mailbox is full Kari, can you clear some space or drop me a message.

Did you miss his invitation to Google his oh so tasteful number plate, and so discover the Porsches he used it on? I'll save you the bother; apparently a black Cayenne Turbo and yellow 911 Turbo Cabrio. I'd take your budget GT4 myself, but there's no accounting for taste.

Hehe, everyone different, but as David said, he likes to be driven around (oo-er), so I doubt a car so well positions to be the current "best car in the world" would suit his personal tastes. Back to plates...

Sometimes I love not being in uk - I have ROB on my number plate - cost? 35 euros.

 

[RobM]

Lol no not too many miles. I only drive about 30 miles a week.

I've always wondered what the big deal is about private number plates and how much they sell for. Compared to a domain name, they are just for vanity, whereas a domain name, you can build an online business from it.

As I child I was fascinated by them and remember one of the governors of my school had two letters + a number on the plate of his expensive Mercedes. Perhaps that's when I realised I wanted one!

I know what you mean there, I alway's wanted D A N 1 3 L or C O A 7 3 S, but there is no chance I would ever be able to own them, I can dream tho
