I typed my registration number (C576 JOB) into the free valuation box on www.regtransfers.co.uk last week, and they sent me a valuation of £600 (!) - this doesn't seem right to me, I was suprised they gave me a quote at all. Anyone sold their reg before and know of any kind of catch this might contain? They did say that's the net amount they'd return to me..

It's their std reply - they don't buy it of you - just advertise it on your behalf and take a cut on any sale - They also advertise numbers not for sale too - A friends car has a nice plate on it and I asked him why it was up for sale on regtransfers - it isn't!!!!

Oh and they also advertise numbers listed on DVLA website for sale - at a 100% mark up plus transfer fees!!!

R16GSL - thats on the Polo I have was advertised on regtransfers for £695 plus £80 transfer fee...... As you can guess I bought from DVLA for £250 including the £80 transfer fee...... Nice easy earner if people can't be bothered to look on the DVLA site

hmmm, the astra has R6 21 YDA, wonder if it would appeal to a desperate star wars fan on their twenty first..?

or the polo's plate could catch the interest of a japanophile / anime geek i guess.
