number plate auctions
someone said that cos 5y went for over 6k plus vat, what do you think about dvla auctioning off number plates (for huge amounts of profit) that are begging to be altered,thus making them illegal ?
two strikes and they can claim them back again, maybe to be top sellers at the next auction ?
it dont seem right to me, how can you capitalise on something that is against the law when your the actual government thats selling the stuff ?

surely they are aiding and abetting you by selling you the plate in first place ?
if you say no then would give good money for COS 5Y. they know that you want to change the 5 into an S and thats why they put it to auction, otherwise its a useless number plate, cheers nomad ps they also charge vat on top so they get that as well as the auction price, talking about getting your cake and eating it

BTW
wish the government would just let you pick whatever you want up to 7characters like you get in OZ.can have any combo of letters n numbers ya like,except rude shit i'd guess,for the same cost as we pay for a simple personalised plate.
saw a porsche 911 turbo in brisbane with the number plate "TUNA 1"
silly but he prob just got that cos he could

at lambchopi agree but mines making naff all against what the gov is charging (well not exactly charging but auctioning ) for their high plates,
radman it runs into millions not thousands,
singh number plate fetched a record fee,
cam ? that plate would not fetch nowhere near if it was spelt and spaced correctly (bearing in mind that you only get 2 chances when pulled by the fuzz) if you have access to the auction please tell what the singh plate went for, i did know but was in shock,

nomad,
You can search all previous auction prices from the site, here is the link for day 1 of the last sale (COS5Y, AR53NAL and a couple of 51NGH numbers).
http://www.dvla-som.co.uk/home/en/Auction/p/live
There were a load of guys in Turbans there and me and my mate felt a bit uncomfotable as nearly every car in the car park had a cherised reg and then number on my mates car was L*** BNP! LOL

PS, not a racist!

wait til she gets pulled and has it taken off her, she can complain to Ken
did the crystal plate have a reserve ? i might start a big fuss in the papers, this is sooo not right (especially if you have been pulled and given a £30 spot fine like me

The only thing I gleened was that all 2 number/2 digit regs (CB27, 43GH etc) are reserved at £2900 unless they are really special (71TS was reserved at £12k) apart from that even the DVLA guy I collared couldn't explain how thew reserve was calculated

Yep, it winds me up that I can buy plates that end in 4 EAN or 6 EAN dirt cheap, yet for some reason ones with 5 EAN on the end sell for over a grand

Just sold my "BHP" number plate off the escos and now have got the one I originally wanted
as it has just been released by the DVLA and never put on a car before...
It only cost me £250 INCLUDING ALL TRANSFERS
