    You've done okay I think. I knew that I could make my maiden name using an 08 reg. I already have a plate but I just priced the 08 one and it was £2299!! I paid £399 for the one I have and I love it, so nevermind! :D

    As private number plates go, I did see a BMW M3 with K1 XAS, which spaced correctly means sod all, but they had it spaced to read K1X AS. Which i thought was good.

    Tho I still think private plates are more hassle than they're worth.
    That's cos I work in the motor trade and get sick of the mounds of paper work they have lol.

    Why don't you sell it now to platemaster for £800 profit? That's still a lot of money for not doing very much (apart from taking a risk).

    I think it's worth more than £1,500. Plus if someone is willing to double the price for one week's investment then why not wait a little longer? At worst case scenario, I've lost £799 which, I doubt will be the case.

    Got it advertised at RegTransfers now. Will be ringing up dealerships next week and specialist registration plate dealers to see what sort of interest I get. They can put up the plate at their showcars for free of charge to gauge the interest of potential buyers and they get a commission.

    Not possible as can't have "I" on UK number plate, only northern Ireland formats have them e.g. ZIL2323

    To OP - the companies that give you quotes on the reg mark don't tend to actually buy them off you, they just put them on their database for x amount of time and if someone decides to buy it at that price then you would get paid, less their fees of course!

    If people did their research they'll know but their low intelligence takes over from their lack of research.

    .

    ..and if even more people with low intelligence did their research, they would very soon realise there is only one winner at this silly game, based at Swansea.. DVLA..ring any bells?
