Do these plates really make the money asked?
Discussion
Just typed in 1 under search and X1 is up for £1M.

IT1 and KP1 are up for 350K each.
8A is 175K
My plate would be PO1 and that's up for 200K!!
Do people really pay this sort of money for these plates or is it purely hype? I know prices have moved but it would take some balls to lay out 500 grand for a plate..
I have some personal plates on some of my machines and I consider them good value! 2PEL, PBO17 and 21CUM!

The cherished number business gets a lot of chasers, the kind of people that buy a two hundred quid dvla special and then advertise it for twenty grand because it say yo blud or something if creatively spaced.
Am selling MU 31 if anyone's interested, on behalf of my father in law, up at eight grand but has been for ages, don't think it is worth that and that is a fairly good plate, he doesn't want to lower it, so that is up to him, not hat bothered about selling it, I reckon five to six grand.

X1 used to be on an old white Mk2 Fiesta van around the Ponteland area in Newcastle. going back many years when I last saw it, the van must have been worth about £200.
I was told that an old army major who was retiring bought up a load of X plates as a gift to his staff. The guy that got X1 was up first (he was the chef) and claimed it.
This is all based on "my mate down the pub" stories but I thought it was interesting. Didn't realise the plate was still around and certainly not up for that kind of money.

Come on Craig you should know that!?!
Yes the high end plates do fetch decent money like that.
A1 isn't available for sale and would certainly be far north of £500k.
However, that isn't the ultimate plate. With the olympics on and London being popular at the moment there is a plate which I'd love to get hold of that everybody seems to want right now. Steve Redgrave, Mo Farah, David Beckham etc have all been after a certain plate.

Hmm? I'm of the opinion you could low ball uber heavily on the BIG prices and the sellers would rip your hand/arm/head clean off!!
I think it's hype. Up to ten grand I think is where all the action is. But a plate like X1 at a mil??
I just aint seeing it..
Foot note. There's a Cayenne near me with D1 on it. Must be worth a lot more than X1.... who's called Mr X?!!!

If you could get X2 at that I'd have 4/5 buyers snap your hand off for it. The cheapest single single is around £90k iirc, then they jump up to £125k ish. Yes they do sell for that price - we've had offers of over £100k on a few plates in the past six months rejected as they don't meet the sellers requirements.
There was a single number 1 that sold recently for north of £500k. It happens.
ETA: The pair thing doesn't normally work. I don't think we've ever sold something high value which are the perfect pair. We've currently got two great three letter number ones which mirror each other, like ABC 1 and 1 ABC, but you'd sell them at a discount for the pair whereas selling separately would maximise the return.
