The coveted car license plate number 30K-999.99 has just been auctioned off for the third time, with a winning bid of over 22 billion VND [approximately $930,000].
On the morning of September 26th, the Vietnam Partnership Auction Company held an online auction of car license plate numbers. Among the numbers up for grabs, the most notable was 30K-999.99. By the end of the auction, the number had found its owner, with a winning bid of over 22.3 billion VND.
This was the third time that 30K-999.99 has been put up for online auction. Previously, in January 2024, this unique number, featuring five nines, shocked the public when it was sold for over 75 billion VND. However, the winning bidder ultimately failed to fulfill their financial obligations.
In April, the license plate was auctioned off for the second time and was sold for 30.6 billion VND, but once again, the winner did not fulfill their financial responsibilities as required.
In addition to 30K-999.99, the auction on September 26th also saw high bids for other attractive license plate numbers, including: 51K-888.88 (15.265 billion VND); 30K-555.55 (over 14 billion VND); 11A-111.11 (over 8.7 billion VND); and 88A-666.66 (over 6.7 billion VND), among others…
According to statistics, to date, authorities have raised over 2,000 billion VND from car license plate auctions. More than 1.26 million license plates have been auctioned, with over 35,500 successful bids.
