Has Anyone Sold Number Plates In Nsw How Does It Work ?

[fatas]

as stated i have plates signed by skaife HSV08U for sale but am unsure how you get them into the buyers name ??? :confused:

do we meet do the deal then we go into the RTA i take them off hold and then he orders them ??? :confused:

I am not 100% sure how it is done, but as far as I am aware you can only be paid to surrender the plates and then if somebody else has an order for those particular plates the person that pays you could miss out. This is only my interpretation from what I was told at the RTA a couple of years back.

You can only sell Personalised Plus or Numeral Only plates in NSW these days.

Any personalised plate can only be transferred in a daughter, son, father, mother relationship and they require a full birth certficate to prove so!

Yeah, you can't sell those.
You can sell them attached to a car, but not on their own.

The other issue is that ALL customised plates come with a yearly payment these days. So if you don't already have your choice of plate in the standard layouts, you'll be paying for it every year..sucks to born after 1985... (ps. that's not me).

So buy a total heap of a car with 3 month rego, exchange the plates onto that, then sell the car to the guy wanting the plates. A good custom plate is worth $1000, because that's what people will have paid after 10 years ownership of the plates sourced any other way.

I don't understand why they have made it so expensive to get the plates these days and why they can't be transfered into someone elses name. :soap:

I remember when I bought my Monaro I had to pay a ridiculous amount of money to get my personalised plates transferred from my old car..

The RTA / Government just see us car enthusiasts as cash cows..:flipoff:

(Sorry fatas but I am not sure on the current rules):eyes:

have been told that if they are on hold as mine are the buyer and i walk in i dispose or hand in the plate and he there and then orders it they will give it to the buyer i hope :)

If what the above posters are saying is true its surely only a matter of the buyer to have an order in place prior to the deal. Even if that means a prior search to ascertain your plates have not been pursued by another person etc.
My co. holds a very catchy name on a vehicle & if someone offers the right $$ I surely hope I could sell also at some time.

From what I understand you can't actually place your order until the plates are available (there is no waiting list on plates). However, you could hand yours in and then the person who wants them could make a request for that plate, with the risk that someone else at that very moment could be requesting that same plate number (highly unlikely I guess but still possible) and snap them up first.

Also, the person buting the plates would have to pay the annual $ for the plates, even if you don't have to (plus RTA fee to get plates and other RTA charges that they want etc)

Took a bit of searching but if you goto the RTA website there is info there.

(c) You can sell or otherwise transfer the right to display Personalised Plus content and Numeral-only plates. To sell your Personalised Plus content or Numeral-Only plates:

you and the new holder of your plates must complete and submit to the RTA 1. the applicable form; and
2. the new holder must pay the applicable fee.
