Is BE11 END available?

I would pay a fortune for that.

[SuuPRlim]

Lol

Half expect him to buy it back from them for double what they paid him, it would be a steal wouldnt it?

yeah, it's worth a quarter mill-ball

Cos Sofa owns it LDO

on an aside though, buying a plate for £400 and selling for £2k is still a pretty sick bit of business imo

Apart from the fact I thought the DVLA auctioned the good ones anyway, meaning that Sofa probably didnt buy any of these plates at all.

I might be wrong, but thats how I thought the whole registration plate thing worked, otherwise the DVLA are just spewing money.

My friend does this too, the DVLA get the majority of them, but a fair few decent ones always slip through their radar and get bought by private individuals like Sofa to sell on...........

[SuuPRlim]

so, just to be clear before I do something stupid.

if i buy this Be11way plate for £4k Im prolly not going to be able to sell it for £250k?

[paulhouk03]

Do ppl not understand supply and demand?

Once u buy the plate its not available for other ppl to buy

[Woodsey]

Still don't get it.

Having a personalised plate is cool and all. And if there's one I liked I'd quite happily buy it direct from the DVLA. But that PAGODAS one for example with the business you want to sell it to. Why would they want to give you the money? I wouldn't. I might think "hmm yeah, that's cool, i'll buy it from the DVLA for £x". I certainly wouldn't pay £x*1000 to some random person who has bought it purely with the intention of making some money out of me.

Fair play to you though. There's obviously people out there with more money than sense.

Because someone else thought about buying it before you, pretty simple really. There are plenty of number plates out there that are totally unique 1 offs that mean something to an individuals but they do now know they exist. If your bright enough to know in advance that the 1 number plate you want is being released soon then good luck trying to get it, you may or may not. Most people will not have thought that far ahead that is why sofa is ahead of the game.

Some people like to have personalised stuff that is unique to them and are willing to pay for it, sounds like you are not one of them so you are not the target market.

Some just don't like to spend on luxuries others do, its as simple as that imo.

[SuuPRlim]

can i get L1L D4VE

whereas I semi agree you have to be a bit of a prick to buy a personalised number plate, I am a bit of a prick

[Girgy85]

Ive got 2 number plates ive got in mind this year! They are for 2 specific wealthy people in mind so if i land them on the cheap i am willing to gamble in order to make a quick big buck!

of course, but you are relying on the plate you but being attractive enough to be able to sell on other wise you are stuck with a load of £400 10/11 reg numberplates.!

James bought, I think FLIISHY?

Once Mr Dempsey decides he doesn't want it, where else is the market for that plate?

From the looks of it now being on offer in a sale, nowhere much is the market for that plate

On the other hand, it sounds as if sofa King has had a number of successes

If I were the DVLA I'd sell them all to the regtransfers of this world and kill the reseller market dead. Not sure why they are giving all the margin in the market to one man bands looking for a quick buck
