How much shall I sell my number plate for?
Most of our sellers have a good idea how much they wish to sell their private number plate for.This will often be based on what they paid for it and to this figure we will also need to add the transfer and sales administration fees. The key to selling your plate in a reasonable time is to be realistic and not to over-value it. Just take a look at our sales lists to get an idea of values.
In the sellers' forms which follow please enter the figure you will be happy to accept when it is offerred to you. If we feel this amount prices your numberplate out of the current market, then we will let you know. |

Please remember that ultimately you can choose to take our advice or not....as far as pricing is concerned it's totally up to you.

Can I Do it Myself
Of course privately placing an advert in a newspaper yourself is possible but please read some of our clients’ comments from their own experiences:-
‘ I had more calls from the advertising canvassers of other newspapers than I had from prospective purchasers’.
‘I agreed a price with a chap who sounded genuine enough but didn’t come up with the money, totally wasting my time!’
‘We found that advertising once was not enough so we took a 4 week discounted advert which was quite expensive. The registration still didn’t sell and now it owes us another £175. The trouble is we need to sell it quickly because we are emigrating next month. Which is the best place to advertise? Have we got the price too high? or is everyone just on holidays? It is August after all!’
‘I found a buyer and we agreed the price, then he asked me ‘How do we meet to do the transfer and exchange the cash?’ I was so glad you came to my rescue! I didn’t have a clue, thank you VRM!’
‘I was thinking about selling privately but then I thought, do I want to send copies of my personal documents to complete strangers?’
‘As the seller, I found it very difficult to conduct the price negotiations in an objective business-like fashion. My buyer gave me a hard luck story that I was foolish enough to believe to bring the price down and when he came to collect the transfer certificate he arrived in a brand new top of the range BMW!’
‘ I placed the advert, found a buyer and got the transfer forms from my local VRO but they were so busy in the office they didn’t have time to explain how to use them. I followed the notes, sent back my transfer application with the required cheque then waited a week only to find that they would not allow the transfer because my buyer’s car was too old. I wish I’d come to you first!’
