Default $80,000 for one set of plates

'WEGOT1' -sounds like POOR people won the LOTTO at some stage.


"your only opportunity to purchase this very rare and well recognised number plate"
coz no one else is a LOSER to want these plates!!

maybe they should try 'WESUCK'

I think the point is in the wrong spot. It reads $80000, it should read $800.00. That make more sense.

You guys are missing something here, in the ad it says that you get the HSV plate covers as well, it all makes sense, you know how good those plate covers are, they have HSV on them and everything!!!!!! (Turn Sarcasm Off)

Even if the car came with the plates it would still be a ripoff. What are they smoking?

I would like to think you’re right here, however, I actually think these pretentious ****ers want 80 grand.

Cheers, Danny

Just rang them, its not a mistake, they really do want $80,000 however when i asked if it was negotiable she said yes.... :tool:

She also said that she has had some very large offers so she decided to put them on E-Bay.
