Another First World Problem.

[EltonFrog]

Many years ago The Fragrant MrsP bought for me ( for Valentines day) a personalised number plate for my new at the time car. Now, I'm not fan of vanity plates, especially those ones where the owner tries and fails to make up words. Anyway mine is just a number and initials.

Its been on many cars and bikes over the years.

Last week an unsolicited email arrived from a company asking if I'd be interest in selling it.

I'm not fussed either way but they have offered a considerable sum of money for it (which I have refused), though TFMrsP says i sould sell.

What would you do?

Depends if it means anything to you (two plates in my family) and if it's worth a few bob.

Not really, though it can hide the age of a car, though that is very superficial.

I'd be asking how they obtained my email address for a start!

Keep the plate. It was a gift from your wife. If she is saying sell it, don’t. It’s a test.

I do know that, apparently I registered with this company many years ago on another matter.

Ohhh, that's clever...and devious.

Ask her what she would like you to buy for her with the money or where she'd like you to take her on holiday with it (or better where she'd like to go with her friends without you with the proceeds )

 

[slowmotion]

If one company is prepared to offer "a considerable sum", there may be others who will offer even more.

Ask around.

I'm just going to upload your reply to Google Translate.

Good idea.

Keep it. Mrs D bought me one for my 40th. Not my thing, but inoffensive enough so I've kept it. I bought her one in return for £400 - a guy stopped me in the street one time and offered me 4 grand to sell it to him, bit its not mine to sell.

Aka what's hers is hers and what's yours is hers

Well that is one thing but GDPR require them to have asked if you still want to be. If they never did that's a bit naughty.
