SYDNEY was advertised at the time of the olympics for $250,000. Did not sell, its still on the back of a 91 liberty wagon from memory.

Aside from that I saw a Bentley GT today with the numberplate 5 - its real worth is about 30G

I've seen plates go for way more than that. All of them were 2 didgit plates though.

In the Trading Post this week we have 'SEXY' at $100,000 and XYHO71 at a tiny $2000.

The prices some ppl ask for plates is crazy...after all its just a number plate.

I any case if U do get a plat for like $10,000, can it be insured?

You don't need to insure the plate. The actual plate is not what you are paying for. What you are paying for is the letter/number combination.
If the plates get damaged/stolen you just go to your states rego branch and order new ones.

thats usually what people hope for....they buy plates that mean nothing to them, but know some rich person would probably pay for it....and if not, they only really lost $400
