DVLA Number Plate Auction

Post by Zed Five » Sun Jul 23, 2017 4:22 pm

And please noone here ever show a zed pic with tinted number plates. They make me have a little stroke every time I see one :|
Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

Does 17 now read as 'N' then? :roll: daft people really will buy anything :rofl:
Yep, And if you had the quick thought to buy MA17 UTD for £400 fro DVLA and then flog it outside Old Trafford for £40k, would you join the brigade ?

DVLA Timed Auction - June 2018

The timed auctions are Bullsh*t they extend them and extend them. Not timed at all. I was bidding on E86 BMW in 2016 won the auction by the time it ended and then they extended the time. Eventually I had to set off to work and lost out! The guy who won it for £960 I found out, had it on eBay for £6500 and then £4500 now £3000 still not sold why would u not just let us have it. Greedy B!
Here’s the link. Have a look at the other tat he’s selling. What a joke!

Yes, I saw that one go through a while back and noticed it hugely inflated afterwards.

I think it does state, that the auction automatically extends by 30 mins after each bid, rather than going down to the last second like ebay, but I know what you mean.

At the end of the day, you just have to put in your highest limit and stand back, It will only take what it needs to out bid the second highest bidder.

I agree. I have a private plate that is only really meaningful to me (although anyone who speaks Maltese will instantly “get it”). I quite like the fact it is so clear to me in one language and nondescript in another - like a secret code ☺️

Best part is I paid the basic DVLA price for it 😎

17 = N
7 = T
3 = E

All of the above are debatable, but what's not is that any of those combinations = t**t. :D
