We received several offers and have placed SA "151" on hold as our first enquirer has astutely acquired this special number at our client's asking price. Bravo.

Friday May 20th, 2011:

 

 

Given our reputation & position as SA's Number 1 dealers and auctioneers of Historic Plates, I was contacted by Channel 10 News yesterday for a television interview on SA plates. My second to-camera interview with Channel 10 this year regarding Historic Plates, the segment aired on the Channel 10 news at 6.10pm tonight. We hope you got to see www.historicplates.com.au on your TV set this evening .

 

The TV news article had info on the coming Government Auction, and spent some time with myself discussing historic plates as an investment; the news article then covered the stunning results we achieved at The Great Plate Auction in February, including vision of our live auction event, with SA "82" & "87" on display cars and also SA "64" and SA "65", all of which we sold under the hammer for record 2- digit prices.  We have sold four significant 2-digit plates this year to date and have achieved the highest price for a 3-digit Historic Plate ever sold in SA.

 

We are currently acting for one such client who has chosen an "off-market" sales method via us at www.historicplates.com.au . If you are interested in special, investment grade low plates, then contact us today to discuss our current "off market" offering. See below.

 

With nearly a million dollars in historic plates sales year-to-date and the best buyer and seller contact lists, this is  why our events, The Great Plate Auction are the clear "No 1" choice for plate holders who are serious about achieving the best prices for their special plates.

 

Why risk selling any other way than our proven live auction events or via the proven sales results we generate through our website? 

 

We are planning our next auction and want the best SA Historic Plates to sell live, under the hammer. If you are a buyer, we secure the best plates to come on the market. If you are a seller, take note, if you are considering selling by any other method or with anyone other than us you are risking not maximising the return on your valuable investment. Call me to discuss you or your family's plate without obligation.

 

So, what record price can our next live The Great Plate Auction break with your plate?
