Default Where do I sell a private number plate?

I'd like to get a price for a private nubmer plate to see if it's worth selling. Does anyone know of companies that give valuations?

Could I auction it off through a relevant auction house?

Thanks

If it's VIP1 then the Sunday Times, if it's S600BYY then Loaded or Burberry World.

there are loads of place who will offer to sell it for you - just call/email a few and ask them how much they would suggest selling it for. also try looking for comparables, in the same way as you would if you were about to sell your house

ps - what is it?

Got a couple of quotes , ranging from £600 - £3000!

Not quite sure if it will be sold yet, so for some reason I don't want to post the actual reg no here (not sure why, perhaps I'm being overcautious on not divulging any info on the internet !!)

If it's PSYCH1C you'll be fine selling it without divulging any info, otherwise you may struggle.

LOL @ newreg.com - in my experience, if you want the real value of a number plate, get a valuation from them, then knock about 80% of that and you've got the right price. I heard about their wayward valuations so I got them to value my plate a couple of days after I bought it at a DVLA auction and they valued it as 6 times what I paid for it!!!!

Reason I suggested them is that they have sold 2 plates for me.
1 getting the suggested valuation
1 getting £150 less than the valuation (on a £1400 plate)
Seems not too shabby but what would I know

Maybe that explains why I got a quote of £400 off them for my plate a few weeks back. It's only *6 and then 3 random letters which were the previous owners initials. They won't mean anything to anyone else. I thought £400 was a little high!!

your not really doing yourself any favs ... to sell something you need to let people know about it same with value .. its only worth what someone will pay for it.. perhaps you dont own it and are thinking of buying it to make a profit thats why all the mistery... dont be worried to tell ... its not B16 GAY is it ... only joking .. it might be worth somthing to somone on here... ps make sure the seller takes a payment after he sells it not before

Fair point, but I wasn't looking to sell it on here, just after some pointers to companies or info on an auction site.

Do I own it? No, it's my wife's. She may sell it depending on its value.
