Problem is that because they 'only' paid £1800 for it, they'll happily let it sit on their books until someone comes along and they get their £4k.
My advice, phone them and stick the offer on the table, say £2.5k and do nothing more. I guarantee they will call you back within a couple of weeks Then refuse their next lowest and wait for another call a few weeks later.

I recently bought a plate for less than 50% of the advertised price with regtransfers.
I put the offer on the table via a call and followed up with an email, then, whenever they contacted me, I said I wasn't prepared to go any higher than my offer and I was looking elsewhere. Over the course of 3 months, they came down to my offer price. I agreed that I would buy it that day and the deal was done.

Once they realise you are serious about a plate they will look to get your money, I can't believe the market is particularly strong for car plates at the moment, so hold your nerve and see what happens. Good luck  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

That's a good way of getting them down if they think you are not bothered if you lose it...

PS it was less than 1800 ....

The mark up is obscene.
I've missed out on a couple of plates at DVLA auctions. One went for £1900 (my highest bid was £1800).
The very next day, I get a call from the company asking me if I wanted it for £6000 ....feeky chuckers..... ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Obscene is an understatement !! lol ... Can't believe they have it up for 4k.. Elite and some other registration companies offered me under 1k for it !!!

You missed out for 100 ahh man and then offer it to you for 6k
