Since when is it legal to sell vanity plates privately?

since always. But, I think they have to be not registered on a car at the moment, and both people have to be at the DMV (seller and buyer) to confirm the transition of the plate

Here in Maryland the plates have to be three years or older of non registration before they can be traded or sold.

Depends on the state but it's not legal to transfer plates from one person another, just from car to car

It's not legal in my state to sell car license plates. There is no distinction between random and not-so-random (vanity) ID codes. The plates belong to the state and your payment is for the cost to create them plus the license to use them on the assigned vehicle with specified VIN.

Plates cannot transfer from person to person. But plates can transfer from car to car upon completion of paperwork, so that is the same effect as keeping the plates with the same person. However, the technicality is still preserved in that plates are not the property of the person. Thus they cannot be sold. This makes it harder for individuals to register names and then sell them for profit.

That means someone else who has your plates can be charged with the crime of possessing stolen property.

Here in NZ there's only one company that's allowed to sell the pressed pieces, but there are people here that seem to think it's ok to list them for more than a years worth of minimum wages.

Wow. Just went to the site to show that the plates only cost a grand (only) to personalize, and these fuck-nuggets charge +1000% for a placeholder.

They no longer have the contract with NZTA, I hope that means it's not a monopoly anymore.
