The black and white tags are crazy here. The lower the number the more it’s worth. This sale is causing a big stir in the local news. 

People will put these things in their Will, offer strangers money for their low license plate number (black and white tags only allow a certain # range), etc.

Yeah, it’s not like we just got legalized sports betting or anything.

Smart states should roll out all new license plates with low numbers and auction them off to generate revenue. I'd love it if my state raised a ton of money by fleecing the stupid rich

For $400,000, I'll register my car in another state, get the plate number I want, and then pay whatever fines Delaware wants to charge for having out-of-state plates.

I still don't get it.

Whats the value in having a one of these license plates?  Do you get special treatment or something?
