gonna start using this ...
I have 3 up at the mo;

P20 LUV (opening bid £400)
H15 MB X (opening bid £750)
M7 LDN (opening bid £750)

Already seen them yesterday!

All over priced IMO

Would be worth starting one at 99p and crossing your fingers, you may get £300 or more.

H15 BMW is on for 35k so I think £750 for the MB version is a bargain ...
Tempted?

Which should I put on for 99p?

Start any of them at 99p, none of them have real value so might as well get what you can for them.

Sorry WM, but do you not think it's slightly ridiculous to say "none of them have value" ...
They're not my best, but I wouldn't say none have any value ...

I don't see how you can compare the two.

MBX doesn't mean Mercedes or even Mercedes Benz

BMW well that speaks for itself.... Exactly what it says on the tin.

You must see that they are only 'what somebody is willing to pay' plates.... Hence my suggestion to start at 99p and hope for the best!

@wine man @looky ... so, which of you is 'watching' H15 MB X on ebay?!

Just seen that you've listed them now.
I'm sure you'll back out of any sale anyway as you think it will be worth more than whatever it sells at.

two are watching it now ... bidding war?!

are you now going to tell us that each watcher on an item for sale on ebay is worth £250 each?

No, I am not. However, the plate is opening at £750 and has had some interest (with seven days to go ...). That to me confirms what I have said all along ... that the plates I have purchased are largely under-valued and have 'slipped through the net' ...

3 people now watching it - am getting excited! (Unless it's you lot?!)

Watchers doesnt mean they are interested but are curious or nosey!

I am not one of the watchers.


Note: B12 VCE had 12 watchers but only a few bidders and that was more likely because I started it at 99p with no reserve.

H15 MB X has an OPENING BID of £750 and yet has still attracted watchers (with a week left to run too ...)
Clearly, it may not sell. However, one can take heart from the interest that is clearly out there even at, what most of you on here have told me, is far too much for it!

You seriously need help.
How the hell can watchers on eBay translate into vindicating purchasing that tat. I occasionally look on there and watch when I think someone has overpriced their registration so that I can see it being relisted again and again until they realise they're not going to sell. Until you have a buyer who has paid then you're not going to have any sales figures.

And before you ask no I am not watching your advert. I should also add that a friend listed his car on there - he had over 200 watchers.....but guess how many bids he had....?

I should also add that your tat has not had an opening bid.
You have asked for an opening bid of £750 and as there are no bids yet it has not been accepted and opened.

Someone has just bid actually ...

Humble pie, anyone?

shill bidding is against the law.

When will you ever accept that you could be wrong?

It's so tiresome.

I've had interest for my plates from actors and for my domains from large corporations - can't you ever just admit that someone may be onto something and give credit where it is due?

I personally don't care whether you believe me or not!

Do let us know when you actually sell a plate or domain for more than it has cost you so far.

lol a brand new eBay user with no feedback and the only item they have ever bid on is yours.... Be careful not to get banned from eBay, you do know they track ip addresses to stop people bidding on their own items!

believe whatever you like ...
