Was just browsing around ebay and to my amazment i found these used number plates off of a MINI, i know the Americans do it on their old cars, but i was always under the impression but that was because the car had been scrapped or something. Its this type of thing thats leading to increased numbers of cars being cloned in the UK.

or put them on your car and do the speed camera site's.

I would report it to ebay first.

It also says in the listing "This plate is over three years old conforming with eBay policy" I dont see this somehow, its a 55 plate, meaning the earliest the car could have been registered was sept 05, and is it sept 08 now? I didn't think it was!

me too.. all over my door... and I've even got other peoples in the garage... money to be had i think

If anyone makes any money i do require a percentage of profits.

He's got a buy it now of £9.90. i can get them made down the road for £7.50 that's a £2.40 profit per pair of plates!!

I will be able to retire soon at that rate.

So if you could please submit your registrations, my business venture will soon be underway

Sadly though some poor unsuspecting eBayer will actually pay good money for old tat !
