It’s like buying old stamps and a million other quirky things, if you can afford and it turns you on, why not.

I have seen a few very cool number plates on cars here over in NZ. Have see both [FORD] and [FALCON] on cars over here, which I imagine would sell for bucket loads if they were for sale. I recall seeing the plate [MAORI] for sale for $50,000 recently too

I was blown away to see two cars on the highway, plate number 1 said TIM, a car a bit further up the road had TAM. Not sure if they where related or if this was the worlds biggest coincidence.
Pity law says no phone use whilst driving, this was a case where a photo was warranted.

reminds me of the queensland plate XXXX which is so valuable, the owner can't risk putting it on his car....

Why if you hold the rego/papers for them you can get them reprinted from theft.

My wife works at a real posh school.
Believe me when I say 100k is 'loose change' for some families. Good luck to them.

 Yep - anyone who makes / has a ton of money must be doing it illegally, obviously.

Same could be said for someone spending 50K on a car, it's all relative. But in the instances of rare number plates, they are a appreciating asset and useable at the same time.
