But you also owned and used the plate during those 12 years.. so you're trying to recoup >100% that sunk cost? It shouldn't matter how long you owned the plate or paid the fees. The only value is what someone is willing to pay now. GLWS.

Mine is a bargain ... Saeed Abdul Ghafour Khouri was willing to pay 52.2 dirham -- the equivalent of $14.3 million -- for the local license plate labeled "1" at an auction at the 7-star Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, making it the world's most expensive license plate.

$4,399.00 https://www.ebay.com/itm/CALIFORNIA-VANITY-LICENSE-PLATE-I-LOVE-UBER/163509114540?hash=item2611e716ac:gWcAAOSwmo1cTVUy

Can never understand why people put the car name on their plates....

Because they de-badge their car and then forget what they had?

That's like saying your painting should sell for $1M because it's a bargain compared to Van Gogh's $100M paintings.

I could get one in my province for $100, drive down there, and then yours wouldn't be the only one in California...

But it would not be a valid usable plate you could drive with!!!!

Sure they could - we see plates from Mexico, other states, and even European plates and whatnot in California - unless you're doing something stupid, you don't get stopped.

People (especially Tesla owners) still don't wear front license plates in CA, and some still have paper advertisement plates on (which haven't been allowed on vehicles sold in California since January 1st, 2019, so, they're driving around without valid plates) - no one gets stopped or ticketed.
