Why sell a number plate privately (and not through a dealer)

Save time and money

Selling your number plate via a dealer can mean the addition of the dealer commission which can inflate the asking price of your number plate and potentially limit potential purchasers.

You may also wish to list with more than one dealer simultaneously- different dealers have different commission and pricing structures- the asking price for your number plate can vary wildly from dealer to dealer- again possibly putting off a potential buyer.

Advertising with Smashing Plates involves a one off advertising payment and allows your number plate to remain on our website until it sells with no limits or restrictions.

How to advertise with Smashing Plates

Get more for your plate

When selling anything privately and not through a third party or dealer it's possible to "cut out the middleman" and negotiate a better deal.

Number plate dealers negotiate on your behalf and may not have your best interests at heart- perhaps pushing for a sale at a lower price to simply "do the deal" and make a commission- albeit of smaller size.

Don't pay dealer commissions- advertising via smashing Plates is a one-off investment to advertise your number plate- there are no hidden fees or restrictions.
