buying car number plate

onlyoneme

Sorry if this is not a right place to ask this question...

I want to buy a private number plate (don't want to pay over the odds - max £250 range)

Any one got any idea where to start?

Either that or eBay. The dealers can have large markups and only act as agents; they rarely own plates they are selling.
My plate was advertised on a dealer site for £4.5k but I bought it on eBay for £2k.

I got one which was from Northern Ireland for my hubby Desmond from Ebay, the ones registered in England were charging £800+ for DE51 plates, we got DEZ XXXX on ebay for £120 and then had to pay £80 to transfer it to our vehicle.

If you paid £150 for it on eBay, then it's valued at £150! That's the great thing about eBay - things sell at their natural level. If you could find somebody who'll pay you £1000 for it then you could say that it's worth £1000!
