My ex-BiL owns PNK 1 - I can ask him if it's for sale? 
Actually, I wonder what it's worth.......
Well Q£$ &+#? is on the DVLA website for 30 grand......Actually, I wonder what it's worth.......
So I reckon 250 quid (plus the transfer fee) tops mate.

Are her initials PNK? Confused as to what the relevance of the plate would be otherwise.
Read the thread before posting on it, and become less confused? OP explains on page 1...."Sazzy Pink" apparently.

Did you ever post up the rejected offer, or is that in secrecy too?
No I didn't. The seller seemed to want to keep it quiet so I'll respect that. Unlike any negotiation I've ever done professionally or personally, the seller didn't reject my offer with a counter-offer, just a flat but polite 'No'. I was expecting to haggle a bit to establish where our respective perspectives were but seems like he was after one time offers only.

cant believe the mess in here and the comments about the seller...he had a figure in mind, it wasn't offered so he kept the plate. Seller shortly received a better offer from elsewhere and sold the plate.
Anyone saying he should have took the first offer would have kicked themselves when a week later they received a better offer for something that cost nothing to keep.
i think both the OP and the seller have been honest and clear here, just dont see the big fuss.

Or he thought your offer was derisory. When I've had cars for sale in the past advertised if I got an offer of 80% of the value I would respond to the inquiry saying it wasn't enough in hope of establishing a bid/offer haggle. When people offered 50% I didn't even bother replying. I'm guessing if the vendor wasn't even tempted to ask you to up your offer then it was one of the latter group.Unlike any negotiation I've ever done professionally or personally, the seller didn't reject my offer with a counter-offer, just a flat but polite 'No'.

Well my initial offer was £200 and I fully expected to haggle and would have gone to around £400. Bear in mind aside from the £80 DVLA fee there's ~£300 for a minor amount of effort and it's £££ he'd never have had in the first place until I kicked this all off.I didn't come into this with my rose tints on expecting a gushing response from the seller and steal a valuable asset from him. I still maintain the plate isn't worth all that much and selling it would probably net a quarter to a third of the value the Freelander is worth.
Long story short, seller has accepted another offer apparently so that's the end of the story.
200 quid? Are you serious! Ffs
I'm amazed that after starting a thread on the whole subject, and amazingly the internet actually locating the plate and owner, you'd offer a completely derisory amount like that! I think a flat "no" was the very best you could have expected!
Owner probably thought you were a complete time waster.
