loads of companies offer to buy plates but is what they actually mean is that they'll just advertise it for you until it sells they wont pay you up front

www.regtransfers.co.uk, used these before to sell a plate J8 WKD, was on there a good few months maybe just over 6 months, but had a phone call out of the blue with a buyer, i recieved just over 400quid (only said i wanted 200-250 first off), and they did all the paperwork and the replacement logbook mot and tax and a cheque

didnt have to pay upfront was a bit of a slow transaction at first (may have been down to the buyer though) but after that it flew through, cant rate them high enoguh

I've got a plate I need to get rid of, my retention runs out in the next few months. I'd happily sell it cheap to a company, be interested to find out who actually buys them up front?

KLE bit is supposed to be/sound like Kelly, Kayleigh, etc. It was valued quite high on a few sites, I dont want much for it.
