Number plate auction, 777 0r 77or7 most valuable

[tomtaylor1]

Hi, am thinking about going to The Number Plate Auction, August, which number do you think will fetch the most money, 777, or 77, or 7.

Any one know how much numbers like these are likely to fetch.

Thank you.

Tom

7. But as always at auction it depends how much 2 or more poeple who just "have to have it" are willing to go.

[Anythingleft?]

I thought it was the other way around here ie 777 to be more desirable (expensive) with 9999 being the most favoured.
Chinese like 8888
Either way they can run into several hundred thousand baht for the most sought after "lucky" plates.....

All I can say is 555.

[Toosetinmyways]

Just had a look at a dealer's website so full retail price.

 

7777........1,000,000 baht.

777..........630,000 baht

77............350,000 baht

No single digit 7 for sale so assume most expensive and rarer.

9999... ....5,000,000 baht

Hi Thank you for the information, the reserve price is 5000 Five Thousand Baht, so at those prices Think I will give it a miss.

Thank you.

Dont foreget there is a 555 in every province , mines not from BKK so it didnt cost much a few years back..

I have 9898 on my car...a Fiesta, plate registered in Bangkok with the Bangkok artwork on it,  is now worth more than the car I reckon. Brought it when I had a Beemer

 

I would really like to sell it for around what I paid for it, Did not go to an auction the dealer got it for me.

Numbers outside of Bangkok are much less expensive so it could be worth taking another look if you live upcountry.

 

The double-digit numbers are relatively cheaper. I had 66 before and bought it for 80k. Sold it for 120k. Can take a while to sell but eventually you'll find someone who wants your number for some personal reason.

[Kerryd]

Because the Chinese think #8 is lucky, many Thais think so too so almost anything with "8s" in it should be worth a buck or two.

Of course, if the floods in the north cause any long submerged tree trunks to resurface, then however many branches (or stubs of branches) still on it could be the new "lucky" number.

Sometimes the DVL can be awkward . They will not even transfer a No from a car you have owned from new.Shades of no money for Marriage visa, but if yer skint go to one that ignores the rules we all have to follow.Little Men in Offices, same the world over.[emoji1351]‍[emoji574]️

[Whitson]

Hmmmmm. Some advice please from those that know. Can a motor cycle plate be bought and sold?

I believe you can transfer/exchange the number plates of 2 bikes  if they both belong to you, and it should be easier if both plates are from the same province..obviously you can't just swap the plates over, the  details in the green books need to be updated at the Department of Land Transportation.

 

Would be interesting if anyone has actually done it.

Ah , the 77 must stand alone ?

when I lived in Hong Kong I had a car with a number plate containing three times 4  ...which seems to mean "death"....sometimes after parking people tried to warn me about this number plate ....crazy superstition !!!

This thread confirms for me some people have more money than sense.

Especially those that pay millions, I remember one paying 20 million, for the yellow VIP plate.

 

I have seen a few and they look like a taxi plate on a Lambo

Agree.

 

I stood next to a Thai man in MBK negotiating in the region of B350,000 for a mobile phone number a couple of years back.

 

Loopy loo, or what...

[ThaiPauly]

Anybody got the name of the website where you can get an idea of prices and maybe sell them on?

 

Thanks
