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?

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.

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.
