License Plates

[TCD619]

In Delaware, if you have a porcelain tag (Black w/white #'s), the tag is VERY valuable. They only make these tags for #'s 1-85999.
The governor has #1, the lt gov has #2. I've seen #'s in the teens on the road on Mercedes, BMW's, etc. I have a low 5 digit # and walk has a low 4 digit # tag in his family...


The Delaware No. 6 license plate sold at auction for $675,000 today to a Wilmington family


I dont get it. What are you going to do w/it?
I hear tags are not transferable.

Just saw it on the news.

I think ours is worth at least 10K.

Don't think the 5 digits are worth anything.

My 5 digit would probably sell for about $500 tops.

Its amazing the value, demand these plates bring.

No. 6 is the lowest-digit active Delaware license plate ever auctioned at a public sale, said auctioneer Butch Emmert of Emmert Auction Associates in Rehoboth Beach.

He added that tag No. 9 sold 14 years ago for $186,500.

The First State’s motor vehicle laws allow registration numbers and tags to be transferred between cars and owners, triggering the uniquely Delaware obsession with low-digit tags: Family members pass the tags along in their wills, and there are Web sites brokering the buying and selling of the tags.

Put more simply, it’s a status symbol, said Robert Thompson, founding director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University in New York.

With Nos. 1, 2, and 3 reserved for the governor, lieutenant governor and secretary of state, the single digit tags become that much more elusive.

“You’ve got a supply of virtually none, so it’s the status that naturally comes with having something that’s hard to get,” Thompson said. “The very fact that they’re buyable and sellable is what gives them their value.”

i agree dude...what is the point...outside of delaware it is worthless...you want to drive down the road for someone to see and say "oooh..he has blah blah blah number...he has money"...who really cares..the owner of the liquor store i worked at in summer in delaware during uni would always try to buy these things...prety pointless imo
