Default Any advice for selling special Ford NSW number plates?

I am open to offers for my NSW Number plates "FOAL" on Mustang Black, but I am not really sure of the best process etc. So any advice on what steps to take or best process would be appreciated.

The original grey 2015 Ford Focus LZ Sport was written off recently and broke my heart. We did get a replacement greyee and it too, sadly has bitten the dust in a nasty head on. I credit the 6 air bags with saving Hubbie's life.

In 2018 I moved the "FOAL" plates from original greyee to the 2018 blue Ford Focus Sport and they are still on it. However, I have just bitten the bullet and bought a 2022 Ford Focus Active - last of the dying breed. I probably would have preferred an ST but the kids are still on P Plates. Anyway it's not the type of car that looks like it could pass as a mini Mustang. So the plates may go to a new home.

Range:US Size
Style code:USMB
Size:Front 305mm (w) X 155mm (h)
Back 305mm (w) X 155mm (h)

There is a way,.......... buy a roadworthy dunger, dirt cheap, put the plates on the dunger, then sell the dunger for whatever price you want for the plates.

No need to as Gasolane's link answered the question, you can sell the plates then transfer them to the new owner.
