i have a private plate im not using anymore, its currently on retention and i dont have a car of a suitable age to put it on, is it worth trying the various web sites that offer to buy your plates (the same ones that offer standard stuff you can buy off the dvla for half the price!)? im guessing i should just write it off or see if a family member may put it on a car until i have one i can use it on but seems a waste, even if i could recoup £100 id be happy.
