Personal Reg Nos

[fairline]

I am considering making an offer on a private number plate, with my 2 initials followed by No 1. Naturally it has a very high price tag, but they invite offers. Where should I start and what percentage of the asking price should I expect to pay?

[Toureman]

I think anything with letters and just one 1 is over �1000!

[homer75]

Tens of thousands Tourman - I was after one many years ago and nearly had a heart attack when I discovered the price !

tourman,are you in a dream world,they are a awfull lot more then that,i own 3 plates with single nos and they start at over 5 grand, fairline,first of all who is selling it,is it private,or a company,if its a company check other plate websites out,i have a plate for sale at the moment with 5/6 companies and they have all priced it at between �8 to 11k,so check out all the plate websites,i bet if its on one it will be on several companies books.

Obviously more money than sense prevailing here.
HEY! everybody look at me with my brand new number plate!
Get a life. lol

[NORMANTHEDOG]

xud, i was poor once as well.

[tali122]

2 letters and 1 number combo can easily hit well over �250,000 , Y1 is �500,000, indeed more money than sense

Why are they referred to as "vanity plates"?

[Gef]

They all seem to say 1M A PR 1 CK.

Oh fairline; don't be mean to yourself!

The number is unique, irreplaceable and just think how you would feel if you lost the chance to buy it for a fistful of dollars which ARE replaceable.

If you can afford the asking price then pay it, before you lose the number.

If you can't afford the asking price then bid what you can afford.

I am not talking theory, but bitter experience.
