Missed out by £100 
which number?also, just because the winning amount was £100 more than you bid doesn't mean you lost out by only £100 - just that there was only one other bidder...
e.g. if you bid £1000 and the plate sold for £1,100 it looks as though you lost out by £100, but the other bidder might have bid a limit of £10,000 meaning that you actually missed out by £9,000 but as the other bidder was the only one left, they secured the bid £100 above yours...
interesting to see that 28 O sold for £32,000 was expecting that to sell for a lot more...

Yes well put.... we can all too easily think just one more bid would buy it... and that's not the case... and yes I'd have thought 28 O would have made alot more than that...? I'm sure it'll be a particular Ferrari very soon...!also, just because the winning amount was £100 more than you bid doesn't mean you lost out by only £100 - just that there was only one other bidder...

Anyone intend buying from the current DVLA Auction.? I fancied one,reserve £350... thought I go to £2350... went to £2800 but still out bid... 
Least i don't have to explain to the wife as she didn't have a clue i was even going to have a bid... 
I had my eye on one for the gf's xmas. Some of the plates in the auction have been going for absolute daft money. Least i don't have to explain to the wife as she didn't have a clue i was even going to have a bid... Was going to request one for auction but I checked the other day and it said it sold at auction last month. Totally missed the timed October auction was even on and it went for less than what I'd have paid
k paid £13.3K plus fees for TU11 RBO?

have been watching today's auction on one of my screens while working 
not sure I can entirely fathom out why some registrations go for more than others - some you can see why they might be wanted (e.g. 1959 LR - £2,500) but others are very strange... was interesting to watch K111RKS sell for £6,500 - I might have been tempted by K1RKS, but not with 111 in there - but presumably some long lost cousin has bought it!
might possibly have ended up buying 2 JFY
(£1,800) not for any specific reason other than to go on a car... bought it as meaning nothing at all, however Jiffy is a good time definition - I like this:
so should look good on the M5!
Alternatively I might have to name the M5 Jeffrey
Used to see K1 RKS around Nottingham on a G wagon years ago. not sure I can entirely fathom out why some registrations go for more than others - some you can see why they might be wanted (e.g. 1959 LR - £2,500) but others are very strange... was interesting to watch K111RKS sell for £6,500 - I might have been tempted by K1RKS, but not with 111 in there - but presumably some long lost cousin has bought it!might possibly have ended up buying 2 JFY
(£1,800) not for any specific reason other than to go on a car... bought it as meaning nothing at all, however Jiffy is a good time definition - I like this:wikipedia said:
The speed of light in a vacuum provides a convenient universal relationship between distance and time, so in physics (particularly in quantum physics) and often in chemistry, a jiffy is defined as the time taken for light to travel some specified distance. In astrophysics and quantum physics a jiffy is, as defined by Edward R. Harrison, the time it takes for light to travel one fermi, which is approximately the size of a nucleon. One fermi is 10?15 m, so a jiffy is about 3 × 10?24 seconds. It has also more informally been defined as "one light-foot", which is equal to approximately one nanosecond.
so I assume that 2 jiffys is still quite fast so should look good on the M5!Alternatively I might have to name the M5 Jeffrey
