I just did not have the energy to take off the old numbers and re-apply the new. I guess I'll let it go.
Amazing a guy would try selling the reserved numbers, but like Gary said, it takes all kinds..

They would all want to go up in the YE plane...especially as they would always have a front seat. You should go ahead and use it. Stick on letters/numbers if you can't paint right now.
Fred, have you forgotten about our yearly NAV Canada user fee...around $80 by now.

For example, I have "vanity" license plates on some of my cars. When I sold one I didn't want to lose the plate. The MVD said I could hold onto it for up to one year, this to allow time to choose and purchase another vehicle. Then it would have to be registered to that car or given up.
I'm surprised there isn't some similar rule with N-number registrations.

I lucked out with 714RV. Anyone born 14 July with RV for initials or building an RV-## might want it.

My plane has its original N#, and planes of its vintage have their N# derived from the ser#. Why change it, it helps your plane keep its lineage and identity.

N999ED or N407WJ do not.

Hollister's 185 was sold to a Canadian in 2009. I was able to reserve the number, N7559Q in May of this year.
It will go on my Wag-a-Bond.
