License Plate

A woman in Nantong, China, drew a license plate with the sequence “88888,” sparking social media buzz. Rumors circulated about a quick resale for $388,000, but she and the dealership deny these claims. While offers reportedly reached $153,000, she intends to keep the car. Chinese regulations usually prevent direct plate sales, although valuable “leopard number” plates are sometimes auctioned, with some fetching exorbitant prices, like the “Yue V99999” which sold for $445,000.
