A Victorian bidder buys one of only 26 single letter ACT number plates. An expert says the plate sold for more than was expected but it was probably still a bargain.
abc.net.au/news/act-license-plate-with-just-one-letter-sells-auction-150k/101804910A single letter ACT number plate has sold at auction for almost $150,000, leaving its seller "thrilled".He said the number plate would most likely be placed in storageThe plate, which simply read 'X', was otherwise a traditional ACT number plate with blue text on a white background.
ALL BIDS general manager Ben Hastings hosted the auction and said the rare item sold for more money than he had expected. With only 26 single letter plates existing in the territory, he said it had been difficult to estimate the price of the plate and had "conservatively" set the cost at $40,000.The online bidding was open to local, interstate and even international prospective buyers.
"If that plate was a Victorian number plate, it could have been worth four times, five times [the amount] or maybe more.Despite the hefty price tag paid for the plate, Mr Hastings said it was unlikely the new owner would be showing it off on the roads.
