Vanity License Plates- PH

PhotoHunt theme : License plates


Photobucket


I bought this license plate in a mall years ago. I wonder if the value of this collector item has gone up. :D

The license plates of cars in Singapore are so boring. Full vanity plates are not available, only the number combination.

Chinese loves lucky numbers like 1, 3, 8, 9 etc. In Singapore, Hong Kong and China, there is a thriving trade in the sale of number plates that have significant digits or lucky numbers.


I cannot imagine myself paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for an auspicious number plate. :)

    Haha
    If there is a ECLIFE plate, I think many would be willing to pay tons of money to bid for it

    People over here too are willing to spend what I think ridiculous amount of money to get a nice plate number.

    Lina,
    Oh, Malaysians do bid highly for significant numbers too? My own Malaysian relatives and friends are a practical lot, they don't spend money on such luxuries. :)

    ECLIFE? That's pretty cool. You can who can afford it why not merely chicken feed.

    I'm with you in being unable to imagine myself paying tons of money for an auspicious number plate. Vanity is thy name indeed re those who do so!

    I like your ECL license plate much better than Elvis' (lol). No vanity plates around here neither, I wouldn't pay anyways, so there, ha!!
    Enjoy your weekend, ECL!
