Default 40th anniversary GT R spec

I have the following NSW number plates FPV GTR metallic gold on black to suit new 40th anniversary GT R spec. Are they worth selling and what would be a suitable asking price?

That's why you you bought them out for isn't it? To make a rediculous profit off them.

Real sad considering there might be someone who actually has one of these cars on order and has use for them but then has the "option" to buy them off someone who does it to make money.

Not illegal AFAIK but really poor form. Unless of course this is the persons actual situation but for a first post it is suss and I highly doubt it.

the only wrong thing is posting it here asking if its worth anything.

making money by making people pay for something they want is the number one rule in business otherwise you go bankrupt...morals are wrong but its not about that

Definitely worth selling, but for no more then $1, I think even that is to much seeing as every year you have to pay the RTA to keep them.

Good attempt too make money but expect to get a flaming for a first post. He would have been better off buying them in WA wher you dont pay an annual fee to keep them.

I wouldnt buy them out of principle... that is also a force of marketing and business... put enough of your potential customers offside and it wont matter how good your product is.

First post, selling stuff that way = extremely bad form as others have said, but not illegal.

I don't think selling plartes for a Profit is Immoral, would it have been immoral to buy a GT-HO Phase 3 in the 80's for next to nothing and sell it today for $500,000?

I don't think so...

But as it is your first and only post i would call poor form, this place is a Ford Forum not the trading post.
