The pricing is a bit optimistic unless you find somebody for who JME means something. Generic number plates that start with A8/S8 are not worth much more than transfer fees.

If there was A8 MAR or S8 MAR plate I would pay £500 easy so why Jamie out there wouldn't pay it

Worth a punt on ebay with it on retention already (so no more fees to pay to put it on a car) with a sensible reserve. They often sell for less than £200 - they often get re-listed for months with no takers at £250+
If you get 2 Jamie's bidding it could go higher, if 2 Jamies own S8s and both want it.... I'm on the look out for a cheapie S8 plate - don't care what letters after it, but I'm definitely in the under £200 camp with fees paid.

As ever it's very difficult to price these. Really generic S8 plates are usually priced around £150.
If the letters are reasonably plausible as matching someone's initials then maybe £200-£250 (I think mine was about £200). After that it depends if there is some additional "meaning" enlarging the market beyond individual S8 owners, of which there are really not a lot. I've seen S8 plates on other types of car, I think there's one around here on a Volvo for example. Interpreting the 8 as a B for example can add meaning, though I'm not sure that does anything here. My first port of call (and where I bought both my personalised plates) is Regtransfers ( https://www.regtransfers.co.uk/ ) where I note they seem to have this "on their books", though I'm not sure what that means exactly.

Good point Homer, unlikely to get under £200 including all the extras.
I really ought to have remembered that, it's not long since I shopped there!  I did rather overlook those two little words: Quote:
