Talking Selling RXB88 Number plates.

I have decided to sell my RXB88 number plates .

The plates are black and white , the asking price is $2,500 ono if you or anyone wants them let me know.

Ideal gift for the asian rx8 owner as 8 is the lucky number for the asians, from a short distance the plates look like RX888.

Might be interested...

BTW how much did the plates cost if you don't mind me asking?

Are these personalised or prestige plates?

Plates are personalised black background white lettering US sized the inniatially cost is not relevant as you cannot get another one the same .RXB88.

I agree, PROFIT is not a dirty word.

Neither is buyer "BEWARE"

No pun intended "BEWARE"

For those interested, Prestige Plates sell for $1,945 according to the PPQ website.

Your choice of up to six letters / numbers for those wanting to make a statement.

As I said, best of luck selling your plates.

Chill

Actually, while some might baulk at the huge profit margin, $2500 is not out of the ballpark. Take a look at the prices being asked for comparable Vic plates at http://www.vicnumberplates.com.au/pa...azda/mazda.htm - while some only want $650, others are over five grand!

Hey after checking the number plate for sale i may increase my price as i believe RXB88 to be better than some and they are asking $5000.

The ( B ) is for 13B AND it also looks like an 8 even from close up as your brain plays tricks with your eyes .


RXB88
RX888.
Thanks once again
michael.

Here on the goldcoast there a lot of Asians and 8 is considered a lucky number as its supposed to bring them good luck and good fortune , so the more 8888 the happier they are .
So i could be selling myself short maybe $8,888 dollars should be my asking price.

ha ha ha , i will be a happy man if i get that price, but i have no real use for the money now so i may even keep the plate and use it instead of my current plate.

MRXO8 (ON LIGHTINING YELLOW 6SPEED LEATHER PACK RX8)

M stands for MAZDA , MAZDASPEED OR FOR ME MICHAEL.

Some people just get lucky i guess.....

Simondebbie got SIC 008 as his standard rego number.
I managed to get SIC 138 as mine.

These were standard issue slimline plates.
