 Post subject: Plates for sale.
PostPosted: Mon Jan 19, 2004 10:44 pm 
In the last week i have seen 8 plates for sale.
But the funny thing is they range from £19,000 to £42,000.
Do you think the person selling the cheap one knows something?

Perhaps Mr £42,000 should buy Mr £19,000 plate, and sell them both for £42,000. :wink:

Or maybe not. :?

Quicker corporate plates come on in Dundee,the better.
Why should you not be able to sell your taxi business,after all the hard
work you have done over the years.
If you have a pub,you can transfer the license to a fit and proper
person and sell.
If you bought a cab and ran it WAV,for a few months,dropped dead,
cab license null and void after a month.Spouse left with large debt.
Better days ahead,lads.

Yes they do have insurance in Scotland,but why should this be used
for your business debts'
Yes you can have insurance for the business,when the business is
yours in the first place :shock:

I think plates still sell for considerable sums.

Some still in price range they were back in 2004, many less.

I think Uber and Delta have had a large effect of the price of Merseyside plates prices.

I think even Oxford prices had been lowered considerably recently.
