Just like most other people, I'm not sure how they are still operating TBH.

Yeah franc123, I thought they would be closer to $300 oh well out of my pocket book.

They used to be around $300. That was last century however.

There's still enough people around with more money than sense to keep them ticking over I guess.

WOW! That's expensive! When I got mine it was only about $350, that was about 15 years ago though. Would love to get one for the husband but I think he'll just have to make do with poor mans plates.

I like ORIGINAL plates on a car, especially the aluminium ones with the black background!

Wow! That's a lot for something that is usually completely unable to be deciphered by anyone else.

If you can use three letters and then 1 to 3 numbers, they're only about $600
Just had a look - robbing A-holes. gone up to $669

NO NO NO, it's a lot for a 60cents worth of aluminum. But I just have poor persons plates so i'm probably just envious.

yeah, but the price of a car hasn't tripled in that time. Probably only Auckland houses have matched that inflation rate

The worst part is the best ones are gone. So they should be cheaper nowadays if anything

I paid $330 for ? 1 (2 initials followed by number 1) in 1991. Offered $1500 last year. Wish I had stocked up in 1991. major business in UK - even for non descript number plates that are mostly bought to replace the year plate the car will have. Snobbery. I suppose so but rego plate companies are making large profits. Will take a few more years and another million residents before NZ plates begin to increase unless you have a 'name' or car make or model. Some around just now take too long to decipher.

Big difference in UK is that you don't have total freedom of how the plate is laid out. i.e. it has to have letters at front, numbers in middle and letters at the end. This makes good plates worth a lot more.
