Have you ever wondered why your number plates are
difficult to sell? Mel McLennan, owner of VIC Number Plates offers some advice
on how to achieve your desired result.
-
Before placing a price on your numberplates research the current market prices
of similar numberplates on our website.
-
Since the introduction of GST the numberplate market prices have declined
considerably with the exception of the vitreous enamel heritage numberplates.
-
The value of the numberplates is very much a personal thing, therefore
numberplates are only worth what someone is prepared to pay for them.
-
In assessing your numberplate value it is wise to compare your numberplates
with accurate model specific numberplates - generally these are one-off or
unique and therefore command a higher market value.
-
You will see many abbreviated numberplates for sale, dont be fooled into
thinking they are worth a lot of money!
-
Best or nearest offer advertisements generally as a rule dont work as people
want to know what the price is before they contact us about buying a particular
numberplate.
-
Dont be too greedy, if you can achieve 3-10 times the original purchase value
then you have done well. There are many people out there who would gratefully
accept their original purchase price if they could get it!
-
Selling numberplates is like fishing, you have to have a line in the water with
bait to catch a fish! The website achieves this 24 hours a day your
numberplates are on the market and we advertise weekly in The Age and The
Trading Post to attract the fish to the website.
-
Dont get emotionally attached to your numberplates. If you want to sell your
numberplates, seriously consider every offer we send you and remember that the
numberplates are worth nothing in the drawer!
