kris Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) As above the private plate on my Zed is coming off as I've got another one to put on instead. Would be good for a NA 300bhp zed like mine. The plate is N300 PSJ I'm going to stick it on eBay or maybe from an online plate buyer however I will put it out to the forum for first dibs. Plate is currently on my car so it would just be a case of filling out transfer paperwork, usually takes a few weeks tops. Or I would be happy to meet the buyer at my local DVLA office for a same day transfer. I believe the DVLA reg transfer fee is £80 so I'm going to say £200 for the plate including fees. I'm waiting for it to be valued but I'm not holding out for anything more than that, however I could be pleasantly surprised!! Any questions feel free Edited January 11, 2013 by kris Quote
kris Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 I've had the plate valued and I've been told its worth £350 as a trade in and it would then be advertised for £600 on the sales sites. With that I wouldn't have to pay the DVLA fees either. However it's now on eBay and would rather a smooth transaction with a forum member and my original price still stands Quote
S1 HNK Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 They would pay you £350 for it? If so bite their hand off! Usually when valuing plates they give you a figure of what they will give you when it sells rather than buy it out right. They are never worth what you think but like you say ebay is your widest audience. Quote
kris Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 No that's what they will give me once its sold, if they would give me that outright I would have snapped it up! Just reread my post I think I should have been clearer. Quote
martinmac Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 I sold one using google search. Just google the letters then e-mail the companies that pop up in the search. 1 Quote
kris Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 I sold one using google search. Just google the letters then e-mail the companies that pop up in the search. Was that a company that just purely buys plates to sell on? Or we're they just an advertiser? Quote
rabbitstew Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 No that's what they will give me once its sold, And thats the key... I tried to sell N13NJA for about 2 years with no interest, in the end I just let it expire and never bothered renewing the retention certificate. My mate just sold his private plate which was just one letter, one number then his initials - like A1 ABC style and he got 120quid on ebay for it. Unless its really special the 2nd hand market in plates is quite poor atm. I sold one using google search. Just google the letters then e-mail the companies that pop up in the search. Now thats a cracking idea actually! Quote

BulletMagnet Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 I'd prolly have to look for N279 BMT......on my NA Zed Personal plates are exactly that, hence why my Zed is also sometimes called Pajama Yakuza PJ04YKZ Quote
martinmac Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 There are a few companies with those initials. I sold PRO 402 for a good profit. Quote
kris Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 I've emailed four companies, so we will see what I get back, worth a try. Quote
Paddy78 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 All the N300 *** plates on the DVLA are £250 (Which I think is the lowest price bracket). http://dvlaregistrations.direct.gov.uk/search/prefix?prefix=N&numbers=300&letter1=&letter2=&letter3=&action=prefix&pricefrom=0&priceto=&prefixmatches=11070&searched=true&openoption=yes&language=en&ajax=prefixupdate&start=0&sort=price&sortdir=desc I can't see anyone buying it for more than £200... But I know nothing, so could be totally wrong! Quote
kris Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 To be quite honest the valuations of it seem to go from £250-£500! Again its only worth what somebody is willing pay. I'm open to offers either way. Quote

Paddy78 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) How much does it cost to change your name these days? Think how cool you'd look with your actual name as your licence plate! I think OE56SFK has a certain charm! Edited January 11, 2013 by Paddy78 Quote
Aliensurfer Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 You'd not be the first person to do that! Quote
14N Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 When I look at the plate, I see 'N3 00PS J'. Maybe if you knew someone called Jay that was a bit clumsy.... :lol: Quote
kris Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 Right I will take £80 plus DVLA fees. I just want to cover the cost of putting my new plate on. Quote
kris Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 Somebody make me an offer. Need this gone as my new plate is coming soon. Quote
kris Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 Did you pay anything for it? Didn't pay anything for it in that sense, however it was built into the price of the car so you could argue that I did? Down to interpretation really. I will take pretty much any offer on this plus DVLA fees. Quote
