One of the most popular questions asked by the curious individuals that trawl the adverts and websites of number plate dealers is "How come I keep seeing the same registration number being offered for sale by two or three different companies?"
There are two possible reasons for this. Let's take Mike Edwards for example, he owns the number plate 81 ME and decides he wants to to sell it. He may approach several number plate dealers and ask them to sell 81 ME on his behalf. Each dealer will value the plate accordingly and request permission from Mike to offer it for sale in their adverts and list it on their websites. You may then be flicking through the motoring section of your favourite Sunday newspaper and notice Mike's number plate for sale in two different advertisements.
The other scenario is that Mike wants to cash in on the value of his number plate quickly. Rather than wait for a private buyer to come along, he accepts a lower price from the dealer who offers to buy it outright. Mike gets his money quickly and the dealer has a new number plate for stock.
It is common practice for dealers to circulate their stock within the trade, which again may explain why 81 ME appears in several dealers' adverts. The task for the buyer is to locate which dealer actually owns the number plate and buy it direct, rather than paying a commission to the re-seller.
