confused.gif Does anyone know if "New Reg" and "RegTransfers" are one and the same company ?

I've just been having a look for a private plate for the gf and have found a suitable one but its up for sale on both websites - I know a lot of these outfits are just selling whats already available on the DVLA website and making their cut, but the plate in question isn't available direct from the DVLA ?

Those companies also list plates they know exist for a guess at market price then approach the owner if they get an interested punter.

I know this cos they listed my P2RKA plate which I owned then later sold to a guy to put on his Porka and AFAIK, he still has that plate yet it's on newreg.

Talking of plates, saw a big black Audi (new grille A6/A8 thing with tinted windows) on the M25 exiting at the A30 today displaying P1LOT.

shocked.gif I'm guessing the owner of P1LOT has either had it for a long time or recently parted with a serious wedge of cash !!

New Reg and Regtransfers are two different companies, the reason why the same reg would be on two sights is that the owner of the reg has decided to sell the reg via both companies probably to get greater exposure.

I have a few registrations that are being advertised by several companies.

Ok for the individuals selling the plates but these companies are copying whats available on the DVLA and advertising them on their website (at a premium) when they dont even own them... crazy.gifmad.gif

You can sell your own plate via these companies.

It may be that a private individual is trying to get rid of the plate via both - they'd be paid commission if they did get rid for the private concerned.

Saw a plate yesterday, Merc ML - 'P14 Y**' followed by a small 'Playboy' rabbit sticker that looked like a Y.

Therefore, P14Y**Y. No point in me saying what the ** was.

Interesting plate - driven by a gangster looking type. Was outside a house near Poulton le Fylde.
