Private Platew Rip Off

[Essex_Lad]

about 3 years back my dad found his ideal license plate and went to bid for it in the auction it sold for £10k not to my dad it is now up for sale again at over £300k! how fcukin cheeky is that!

My name: Alex Ranson

licence plate: RAN 50N

 

[Rorrie]

has anyone put a bid in??? who would pay that for that plate??? i would understand if it was RAN 1 or the like

RAN50N is the best plate you could have.. ever.. if Ranson was your surname.

It would be worth a lot of money to someone..

Free market in action. No rip-off at all. It is worth whatever anyone wants to pay for it. The original buyer took a risk and will be rewarded if he can sell at a profit. Nothing wrong with that!

Downside: If nobody wants to pay more than him...thats a pretty expensive piece of plastic!

If someone wants to pay 300k for a plate they must have more money than sense!

 

[Essex_Lad]

£300k for that most people would rather spend it on something like

1F & F1

Gezza round my area has 2 brand new volvos with both plates!

I agree! What a waste of money

I think he should be in for some serious capital gains tax?

Theres a base spec VW Bora round my way with the reg plate F1 CAR. They could have probably afforded an F1 car if theyd not bothered with the plate. Very bizzare. They also have a Rav 4 with the plate X RA11Y.
