easiest way is prob put it on retention £105 that way you have the cert, when someone buys it you just send the cert off adding them as the nominee whi ch means they can put it onto there car

I'd give it a punt on ebay, either people will bid or they won't!!

Out of interest what plates you got? If they any good I might have one

Shouldn't have any problems shifting that Tiff.

I'd like a six digit dateless plate for my run around, if anybody has one they want to part with?

Depends what it is where you are best off advertising it, for something like Tiff's plate for example, its easy to know where to advertise, ie skoda forums.

If its a plate that says "G30RGE" or something like that though, its less easy.

Unless there is a George forum

Or you could hang round outside Asda and try to sell it to people coming out with bags of new clothes

Mine is X8 TDS which came with my x5. I put it on retention as it's "valued" at £500!

Fuck knows if bmw will ever make an x8 but if they do it could be "x8 Turbo DIesel Sport" which is potentially worth more than FA!
