Nice plates you got there
Yes you are right about 7 digit plates. Vicroads dont even know whats going to happen yet. Theres a few options, they could go backwards, adopt the NSW configuration, or go with 7. After being on the inside at VR, this decision wont be made for a while...
Tight? Consdering NASDAQ in NSW went for some ridiculous amount (like $150k) and I've seen plates like BAY13 for $10k, BROCKS for $15k, and BLKHSV for $5k, I thought $500 was very reasonable. I dont really care if no one buys them anyway. I'll just put them on my 34 when I upgrade
