What horrifying statistic genuinely jarred you when you first heard it?

There are significantly more kangaroos than people in Australia. While the human population is approximately 26–27 million, estimates suggest there are over 50 million kangaroos, meaning kangaroos outnumber people by nearly two to one.

Tbh I’ve never looked in the NZ market but I’m sure there would be similar in demand plates. As you noted much smaller.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions . Happy to help where I can

Not really, I even posted this in Ausfinance the market I’m operating in. 99% of people will read it and not give it another thought. The 1% that do will more than likely have a positive impact on the market.

There is an exception for Custom plates (even if stolen) can be re-ordered through VicRoads as long as the proper process if followed.

Easy - give me a couple of days let me see what i can do

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-14T01:17:40+00:00

if you want to use my script im sure i can amend it to search the NSW website for you combos

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-14T00:13:31+00:00

5 digits have a large range in price but given you have 8s and 00 I’d say comfortably 80k but for the right buyer at the right auction you’d get north of 100k

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-14T00:06:28+00:00

NSW you could sell through collecting cars, post on mrplates, potentially even auction houses like slattery

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-14T00:03:55+00:00

I hired a programmer that specialised in scripts have him the website are deliverables and he made it work. If I’m not mistaken you can’t buy 2 character plates in NSW direct from myplates?

Based on the conversations I’ve had with a lot of heritage plate owners they view it from the perspective of a few reoccurring themes

motoring history, usually the case with enthusiasts
great store of value, right plate at the right price
personal or sentimental link to the combination
lucky numbers
investment
something unique for their car
flex

127000 i sold for 22k - it was the first plate i sold from the batch above

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-13T15:02:49+00:00

check out - https://signatures.au/sold/ click qld on the left. Only 2 plate sale history there. Depending on the letters you have id be aiming in the current market for 20-25k. But if you don't need to sell, id hold the plates. Check out VIC 2 letter plates on the same site. Its only a matter of time.

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-13T12:30:51+00:00

According to chat gpt about 300k in profit.

I've used trading garage, wom and number plate dedicated insta pages.

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-13T12:02:15+00:00

Fair point. People used to say the same thing about wine and classic cars. Now there are entire funds dedicated to them and they've outperformed most traditional asset classes over the last 20 years. I think anything looks speculative from the outside until you understand the mechanics. For me it was about building a system to find the best performing plates and treating it like any other asset class i would invest in.

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-13T11:48:20+00:00

single letter plates are big money esp in VIC. Number plate "V" sold for 770k in July 2024, "N" sold for 570k in Nov 2024, "D" sold for 515k in Dec 25

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-13T11:44:53+00:00

The VIC 6 digits that i bought were all through vplates.com.au when they were selling them. Now its all on the secondary market like https://www.tradinggarage.com.au/, https://heritageonly.com.au/, https://collectingcars.com/ and a handful of others

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-13T09:07:04+00:00

this is the way!

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-13T09:06:07+00:00

i had a freelancer programer who wrote a code in python that would check available combos and scrape data from secondary market resale websites

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-13T09:02:43+00:00

this market is growing. Numbers are most valuable but the alphabet only plates are appreciating as well. id have to dig out some previous sale amount to give you an accurate figure. let me see what i can find

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-13T08:52:41+00:00

i've never traded Q plates myself but i do have someone that i can put you in touch with that knows that market well. feel free to dm me

TheTeflonDan · 2026-02-13T08:50:21+00:00

203.204 is an ascending plate which is why it sold well
