Australia's largest auction platform for number plates, combining a proven Heritage sales record with hands-on listing support from first review through to buyer introduction.
*On a standard successful Platform sale, the Buyer pays Trading Garage's service fee separately and pays the Seller the full winning bid. Seller fees can apply in the circumstances set out in the Terms & Conditions.
Built to present significant numeric plates to serious collectors, whether the combination is registered in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland or elsewhere in Australia.
Sold through Trading Garage in June 2024, VIC 20 achieved $2.54 million — setting the auction record for a Victorian Heritage number plate and surpassing the previous benchmark held by VIC 14.

For suitable plates, Trading Garage helps turn the combination, ownership details and supporting information into a detailed listing, recommends a reserve strategy using specialist experience and comparable results, and keeps the Sales Process on one specialist platform through to buyer introduction.
The first step is intentionally light. If your plate is suitable, our team helps build the information needed for the listing and guides the Platform process from there.
There is no single price list for Heritage plates. A useful review looks at the combination itself, its scarcity and structure, and what genuinely comparable plates have achieved.
The size of the available number pool and the rarity of the combination can materially influence collector demand.
Low numbers and early combinations can have particular appeal to collectors.
Repeating, mirrored, sequential and visually balanced combinations can be especially memorable.
Dates, culturally significant digits, round numbers and other recognisable sequences can attract buyers for reasons beyond digit count alone.
Ownership history, supporting documents and any original presentation material can help a listing tell the plate's story clearly.
Recent completed results for genuinely similar plates provide useful context, while no historical result guarantees a future selling price.
Any estimate or price guidance is opinion only, is not a warranty or representation of the expected selling price, and the final price rests with Buyer and Seller.
Numeric plates work differently across each state's registration system. A good listing uses the right terminology and describes the plate accurately. It also makes ownership and display rights clear, so serious buyers can do their due diligence.
Our Heritage team will review your plate and recent sales to confirm it's a fit for Trading Garage. VIC, NSW, QLD and other eligible Australian plates are welcome.
