    Things are only worth what people will pay. Grab the highest offer unless you want to start trying to find a private buyer yourself.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    They offered that, or said this is what you get if it sells?

    Hi, the highest 2 offers didn't say when they would pay so must check. Must price about some more.

    Take the lower offer if its cash, the other 2 will be trying to sell it on commission for years.

    Just a standard NI plate. Not worth much, if anything really.

    Is it actually transferable?

    Agreed - not sure if it's true for NI plates, but if the car has previously had a plate transferred from it, the reg that is now on it will probably be defined as "not transferable". Deffo worth checking.
