So... I'm trying to sell my 25 year old car and its ridiculous custom license plate.

I figured the plate was probably worth more than the car at this point, so I advertised it on a license plate trading facebook page with the car as an included bonus.

It kicked off.

In my hubris I cross posted it to a fan page for that particular model of car.

What I've learned is that custom license plate aficionados are fun weird, and car model aficionados are scary weird.

Feel free to reply so I can find out what kind of weird Mastodon is. I'm guessing 20% splainy, 20% chatty, 60% furry.

@Farbs the fact that you can swap around license plates like that in australia is just bizarre to me as a swede. here, a license plate is permanent for any given car. you can get vanity plates, but unless you pay upkeep every year, you revert back to the original boring plate.

your way seems much more fun.

@grapefrukt I'm not sure what the other Australian states do, but where I am it's a one off $3.6k to get the plates fresh (I did not pay this, it's a long story) and about $700 to transfer them to someone else (I did pay this, but for non-obvious story reasons). So yeah I guess they just front load the fees.
