Six of the 50 plates on offer
There's something for everyone
Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 29, 2016
The My Plates Great Plate Auction for 2016 will conclude at 8PM tomorrow night. The auction showcases 50 one-of-a-kind official Texas license plate messages, some that have never been offered to the market before.
There are a number of messages that are attracting quite a lot of interest, including the two-digit number 12, the six letter plate AUSTIN and San Antonio’s favorite team, GO SPURS. Other team related plates include 1-DALLAS and 1-TEXANS that will also be sold.
The auction features a little something for everyone, from Texas-themed plates, to motor vehicle brands, college teams, two letter and even State names. The opportunity exists to even own a state’s name like ALABAMA or FLORIDA as your official Texas plate.
My Plates is offering a variety of other historic license plate numbers including, the year 1845 symbolizing when Texas became the 28th U.S. state, or the year 1976 for those celebrating 40 years. My Plates is also offering Texans the opportunity to get in early on owning the new year with the plate number 2017, hence one lucky person could own the new year now.
Unlike other everyday Texas license plates, plate messages sold at auction by My Plates are offered for a 5-year term and are legally transferable. The plate owner then has the right to sell the plate message to another person with the same ongoing rights or gift it to a family member or friend. Transferability also means these plates could make great investments.
All of the plate messages within this auction have an opening bid of only $500, with no reserve beyond that. If only the opening bid has been received when the auction closes, that will be the final and winning bid!
“We wanted to open this auction up for all Texans to have the opportunity to secure one of these great plate messages” said Steve Farrar, President of My Plates.
The Great Plate auction will be conducted online and will run through November 30, 2016. If you don’t live in Texas that’s okay, people from outside the state can purchase a Texas license plate for display on their wall, however, in order to display the auction plate on a vehicle, the vehicle must be registered by a Texas resident.
