Paid £360 to get it entered into the auction and placed a proxy bid of £1100

It sold for £1120 so with fees totaled at arounf £1600

I saved almost £1600 but lost my £360

[mk11jon]

Did you sell it?

[alancdavis]

No I tried to buy it ,,

[Hoonabator]

So did you have to pay to get the DVLA to release it and then bid on it Alan?

[alancdavis]

Did the deal vis national numbers but when I looked into it I can have done it myself and saved 360 ,,,as the norm you have to pay VAT on everything

[alancdavis]

So did you have to pay to get the DVLA to release it and then bid on it Alan?

In a nut shell ,,,Yes ,,,,, so I paid the fee and someone else got the deal ,,,,,

When I enquired to DVLA about a couple of possible plates for my TR7 they listed them free of charge, they will only list one requested plate per auction though.

Does it say anything on DVLA's site about a charge to list a plate

[RSGB]

Have you got a link to the site... just curious.

[Hoonabator]

In a nut shell ,,,Yes ,,,,, so I paid the fee and someone else got the deal ,,,,,

Sounds a bit moody

[alancdavis]

I think Paul is correct the DVLA will list a requested plate for free
It was National Numbers that took me for £300 + Vat

It wasent until I paid then I found out you can do this yourself

What hive the price up also is price of your bid + the sellers commission + hammer price commission all plus Vat

As I said I went to 1100 and then it sold at 1120

[ROOSTERRS]

Yes, just ring the DVLA and ask about the number you are after. My LVX number, LVX942M, was never issued by the DVLA. I think the others in the sequence wern't either. GVX883M wasn't released either as I asked about this aswell.
You register your interest in the number and they text you when its up for auction.

[RUDDY]

As said, DVLA will happily list a plate for you and let you know when it's up for auction, I was chasing plates similar to BL works cars for the TR7V8, hardest part is finding out what hasn't already been issued back in the day.

Auction hammer price is never the full story, the chancellor always likes his bit on top plus fee's.
