Cool plate, just remember thats the start price and you will have VAT and fees on the end price. Probably be more in the 2k mark at the end.

Not neccesarily. I doubt there will be a lot of demand, I doubt many owners will want to pay much for it as its useless if your next car isnt a scout

I applied to the DVLA for a plate that haddent been issued & they put it to an auction. No other bids & I got it for the guide price of 250 + fees etc, from memory about 390 all in & that includes the transfer fee.

If anyone wants a specific plate that can be quite fruitfull. It took about 6 months from me requesting it to the plate getting to an auction

It might not be a Skoda owner who wants it though, could be Bear Grylls, chief Scout.

Or any lesser Scout, or anyone called Crockett and is king of the wild frontier.

when you buy from the dvla, including dvla auctions, they pay the £80 transfer fee. I bought my plate for £250 and thats all I paid. Advertised at £250 and that was the total price including getting it transferred

You have to pay vat when you buy at auction. My boss just bought his plate at the last auction, some plates didn't sell that I thought would some went for nothing. When the plate comes up, the auctioneer looks at how many hands goes up in the room, if there a lot the price will go up by £100 every bid. If there's not much interest then it goes up by smaller amounts.

Interesting looking at the results for the last auction. ASII LEY had a reserve of £1000 and sold for £15000. That I understand but not F10 YDC which had a reserve of £350 yet sold for £15,600!

Being this multicultural society everyone bangs on about F10YDC may be a name or have massive significance in a foreign tongue

Unless you're called Floyd C.

I hadn't thought of that name. :(

the plate I wanted sold for £22,000 a few years back. Glad I got a different one I liked for £250 lol The one I wanted was 12 YAN

Don't know about the transfer fee (although I think that is not included I can't remember) but no way will you get any plate from DVLA auction at the flat price (ie £250). Mine had a reserve of £500 and IIRC the hammer price was £800 but the cost was over a grand (£1,080 odd rings a bell).

DVLA auctions add buyers fee, VAT on that fee and I was sure they added the £80 too.......

Plus I had to drive from dover to Wakefield for the damn auction lol

In fact, it wasn't hard to find. The £80 is NOT included at auction:

"For registration numbers being offered for sale at a DVLA auction, the bidding starts at a fixed reserve price that does not include the buyers premium, VAT or DVLA fees, so these will be added to the final hammer price. Our auction catalogues include a detailed breakdown of the costs for you to know what the final price will be."
