tomtaylor1 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 7. But as always at auction it depends how much 2 or more poeple who just "have to have it" are willing to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anythingleft? Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I thought it was the other way around here ie 777 to be more desirable (expensive) with 9999 being the most favoured.Chinese like 8888Either way they can run into several hundred thousand baht for the most sought after "lucky" plates.....Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toosetinmyways Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtaylor1 Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 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. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAKAPALITA Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Dont foreget there is a 555 in every province , mines not from BKK so it didnt cost much a few years back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 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.

Crash999 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryd Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 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.

Whitson Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hmmmmm. Some advice please from those that know. Can a motor cycle plate be bought and sold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
