Plate number 8
Plate number 8

AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB) February 28, 2018 -- The first-ever single digit Texas license plate auction has now concluded with all three plates on offer being sold. MyPlates.com, the state’s vendor for marketing specialty and personalized license plates in Texas, conducted the auction that resulted in $78,000 in sales and $46,728 going to the state of Texas’ general fund.

Lucky number 8 sold for $34,500 making it the second highest plate sold in Texas

Post this

The highest selling plate was the low single digit lucky number “8” that sold for $34,500, making it the 2nd highest selling plate in Texas. The plate 12THMAN still holds the honor as the most expensive selling for $115,000 in 2013.

The other lots that sold included the lowest number offered, “3”, selling for $33,000 making it the 3rd highest plate sold in Texas, and the only single letter plate offered in this auction, “J” selling for $10,500.

Unlike other everyday Texas license plates, plate messages sold at auction by My Plates 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.
