Best way to sell personalised plate?

Herbyme

I've got my late dad's personalised plate  to sell. It's on a retention document.

I'd like to get as much as reasonably possible without going to a huge amount of effort.

Any recommendations for the best way to do it?

Are you seriously asking someone to give out information that is identifiable?  Read the important reminder above the OP.

Sorry, have just removed the plate details,

I don’t see why you’ve removed the plate details. They really didn’t tell anyone anything. Try some Tesla forums or Facebook groups someone might want it for a Model X.

I thought the warning at the top about identifiable information might include the registration. If not, I'll happily post it again!

If the OP is wanting to sell it they will have to advertise the plate details.  And if its on retention you won't get a hit on it.

OP check EBay to get a feel, you then have the brokers but I don't know how good they are or how much they charge to sell it, probably quite a lot for very little effort.

OK, I'm confused about this, but here it is:

@Flight3287462 those are the options I've thought about, I did contact 3 of the brokers but got such wildly differing advice about likely prices that I didn't know what to do - I did put it on one of their websites for a while, got no interest, took it off by acccident really (clicked wrong button) and didn't seem worth putting it back on again.

I can't see that as having an amazing value. 

Probably best to let one of the brokers sort it and just accept what you get for it is what you get.

Is it your own plate (as in - you own the retention certificate) or are you selling for another?  If you have no time limit, then just list it and wait until you get something for it.

You may need to make suggestions as to what it might stand for or the type of vehicle.  The combination you have is not going to be in the same demand as variations such as:
KEV 1N
JAG 1X
KEV 1X

Merlin139

Try advertising it with a different spacing to give an idea.

e.g.  X  EV1  X  For someone whole wants to put it on an Electric Vehicle.

Obviously not legal to space the plate that way but most days when you drive 200 miles up or down the M1 you will see maybe 20 or 30 plates with illegal spacing.

The retention certificate is valid for 10 years before you have to renew it or lose it.
