Is it just me or Personalised Plates rediculously priced?

WAY TC · 19th June 2008, 06:44 PM

Off to sell my PPlate on TM - shows some people think their plates are worth thousands of $$$!! wtf up with that.

they call them "investments"

"TE" will only set you back 7k haha

and soo many over $1500 !!

Maybe i should put 2k on mine and wait 5 years for a desperate honda owner

manatnz · 19th June 2008, 06:46 PM

yeah bro i recon why not try selling it for 100 million dollars.. worth a try..

DrRubber · 19th June 2008, 06:47 PM

they dont sell........unless really really sought after.

mr_tec · 19th June 2008, 06:49 PM

yea & trademe staff would be able to retire on the success fees

tysonzane · 19th June 2008, 06:59 PM

Shit yeah they are some over priced no brainer ideas on trademe. I picked up a bargin recently for $196 so there are a few that aren't bad if they're put up on a $1 res auction.

I've got 4XFOUR sitting at home, i bet that would be worth a fair bit.

looks like the ones that person has sold have all been at $1 Reserve, and seems like he ended up only getting like 400 for one of them lol

chromies ea · 19th June 2008, 08:57 PM

Dont forget that [FUK69] should be comming out shortly as a standard plate, ill keep an eye out for it at work if anyone would want it on their car lol

MMJA · 19th June 2008, 08:58 PM

He used to get thousands of views and like 100 questions per auction. But he tends to blacklist you if you post up something that's not praising his auction. Now his auctions barely gets 10 views and no one bothers commenting, probably all got blacklisted.

GDB · 19th June 2008, 09:00 PM

people will ask what they want to and people will pay much much they want to if they really want the plate

end

SLOTEG · 19th June 2008, 10:11 PM

even the price of a new plate is just fucking stupid now

i know what i want but im not forking out $800 almost for a bit of metal with some letters on it

MMJA · 19th June 2008, 10:13 PM

I remember when they used to be around $350~$400 for a basic one.

Yeah i reckon! I'd get my ideal plate which is still available. You'd think because all of the good options have gone and the overall potential number of options is alot less that in theory they'd be alot cheaper. They'd definetly sell more if that was the case....

4VTECN · 19th June 2008, 10:20 PM

It sucks because all the good names are taken up, so pointless really unless you think of a one off which is quite hard

MMJA · 19th June 2008, 10:40 PM

^That's true, virtually impossible to make anything with proper letters now. Always have to substitute with numbers so it looks like l33t sp34k.

lowproz · 20th June 2008, 12:28 AM

when they used to cost $350 i used to never be able to find one thats available. now i have so many good ones but can't be bothered spending $800. rather findd a cheap TM one lol

XPLOIT · 20th June 2008, 06:04 AM

My one cost $550 brand new

GF has just secured hers second hand one for the same price as a new one
