A fortunate motorist pocketed an extra £9,000 on top of his expected price after leveraging Platehunter’s complimentary online valuation service for private number plates.
Initially anticipating a modest sum of £5,000 for his registration plate, the car owner turned to Platehunter, a distinguished private number plate dealer, for a professional assessment. To his astonishment, the plate’s market value was pegged close to £10,000 above his expectation. Within a mere week, Platehunter identified a willing buyer, finalising the sale at a striking £14,000.
For the seller, the financial gain was sheer profit. The unique registration plate came as a serendipitous addition when he acquired a Jaguar XK140 back in 1950.
Jon Kirkbright, Platehunter‘s seasoned Sales Director with an illustrious 11-year trajectory in the motor industry, expressed his surprise: “We were surprised that the customer was asking for so little for the registration plate, and we are delighted we were almost able to triple the price for him.”
Jon remains a staunch advocate for private number plates as sound investments. Drawing upon his extensive market exposure, he observed, “In my experience, I have found that private number plates should double in value every three to five years. This is why I say that buying a private plate is a lucrative investment opportunity. People are often looking for proof of increased value and good investment, and this is it. Some people may not be aware this is the case, and try to sell their plate for the same price they purchased it for many years ago – this is why we offer our free valuation service. We want customers to get the best price for their plates.”

We are professionals and we ensure that we take all the stress out of the transaction for both the seller and the buyer.
