Selling a number plate
Evening chaps,
Never really liked my number plate. Always get comments on it asking why I have it on the car and telling me I should sell it etc. But I've never actually got round to it.. the plate has the initials VXR in it.
I'm sure there's a Vauxhall owner out there that would want it, surely? My question really is.. as it came on the car from new, I presume it is still able to be sold? I don't know much about personalized plates! Any guesstimates on value? If any? I just want a different one if I'm honest . Similar ones on eBay seem to go for 300-400 quid.
I'll gladly move this to the for sale section once I get my answer. Already posted it on the VXR forum but got swiftly removed for some reason.
Thanks all.
James

Entitled to your opinion mate, but I am a plus member contributing to the site, so I'm only posting it in the wrong section if you do believe I'm advertising. I don't exactly sell much on here even, just wanted some advice on how to sell it. If it makes you feel better, I've edited out the full number plate and I'll remove this and take it over to the For Sale section once I get one more questioned answered.
Thanks for your reply Riiida. If I put it on retention, do I get a replacement number plate of the same style and year given to me? Or do I have to pay for it?
Thank you!

the problem you have with said number plate **59 VXR **57 VXR etc etc is that the Dvla sell these online for £250 and theres loads of them
e.g AR05 VXR and BR51 VXR
factor into this that it will cost you £105 to put your registration on retention, then you have paypal and/or ebay fees if selling plus cost of new plates for the plate that goes back on your vehicle
so to make this tempting to a VXR owner are you going to sell for £200 all in which will leave you a profit of say £50
not worth it

Oh really? Bugger.
Hmmm. It would be worth it, just to get rid of it to be honest. I get a lotttta people commenting on it :P. And now I can see it, it's starting to look funny on the car. Usually don't give a rats **** about number plates.
I'll have a think. Maybe post it around a bit, see what happens.
Thanks for your help!
