That's ridiculous [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
There are 25 pages of ones that spell 'serve' -- surely supply and demand should apply here?

For example, I was looking for one that spells 'Carl'. There are <26 of those (C4RL<something&gt because you can't have I, Q or Z (IIRC). And before they all went () they were £399.

Carl, the few that are left are now 3k.

My perfect plate (C4 RLD) dissappeared at that price a few months ago.

I got R3FRO for 250 quid last month. The one I really wanted has never been issued and I can't buy it. I just have to wait for it to come up at auction hopefully, J37HRO, and the only other plate I would consider was sold before I got it B1GJP. For those not in the know, my nickname is Reffro, but I'm really a Jethro, and my initials are JP.
