The overall score blends several parts. A digit sum graded "Best avoided" is only one of them, so the score does not drop with it. Look at the digit sum as well.

Market median for this plate~97,200
Compared with 28 plates in the group Number 8988 Bangkok all series (series-adjusted)
The market median is the median of the asking prices sellers set for plates in the same group, counting one price per plate. It is not a transaction price.
Why there is more than one number
The main figure is the market median for this plate. The figures below compare against something else, so they are not the same. All of them are asking prices, not transaction prices.
- Before the series adjustment
- ฿109,000The median of the asking prices in this group, which has several series, before adjusting for the series and the plate's digit-sum grade. The market prices the series 8กล lower than ordinary plates in the group, so the market median for this plate was lowered to ฿97,200.
- Actual asking prices in the group
- ฿59,001 to ฿699,00028 plates in this group, before the series adjustment, not counting this plate.
- Compared with the quad 8888 (Bangkok passenger cars)
- ฿99,000 against ฿2,140,0008988 is one digit away from the quad 8888, yet sellers ask only about 5% of it (median asking prices of 27 and 50 plates).
How this market median is calculated (it is not a random number)
- We use the median (the middle value when prices are sorted from lowest to highest), not the average, because a handful of unusually expensive plates would skew an average. The median reflects the prices you actually see more closely.
- We count one price per plate. If several sellers list the same plate, the lowest price represents it, so a plate listed in many places does not pull the median in one direction.
- We compare only prices the sellers actually set. Price-on-request listings are left out of the statistics, and Department of Land Transport (DLT) auction closing prices (real transaction prices) are shown separately and never mixed with asking prices.
- This market median comes from the group Number 8988 Bangkok all series (series-adjusted), with 28 plates in our catalog. The system first compares plates with the same number in the same market, and only moves on to plates with the same number pattern when that number is not available. It calls a price cheap or expensive only when the group meets the minimum sample size. Otherwise it shows a price range for reference only.
- Series-adjusted. The group contains plates from several series, so the system first adjusts each plate's price to the equivalent of this plate's series before finding the median, because the series is the biggest price factor. The adjustment ratios come from real asking prices of the same number in different series. For example, in Bangkok, plates with the same number in a series without a leading digit (such as กข) are priced about twice as high on average as a series with a leading digit (such as 1กข). Plates that need a large adjustment get less weight, and adjusted figures are rounded to three significant digits because they are estimates.
- The market median is an asking price, so it sits nearer the top of the price range than the bottom. Agreed prices are usually lower because of negotiation and liquidity. Use this figure as a starting point for negotiation, not as the price you should pay.

Thai numerology reading
Numerology digit sum
48
Offers that look too good to be true, rated Best avoided (grade E)
A number to avoid. According to the texts, think carefully before deciding anything about money.
Digit sum 48 blends Mercury and Rahu, which Thai texts see as wit combined with deception, so it tends to bring contracts with hidden conditions, investments that look too good to be true, and smooth talkers who do not keep their word. If you cannot avoid it, the texts advise thinking carefully about acting as a guarantor, and checking carefully before investing in anything whose source of profit cannot be explained.

Flying Star of the period
According to Flying Star feng shui, Period 9 runs from 2024 to 2043, and the digits 9, 1 and 8 are considered the lucky stars of this period. The system therefore adds a few points when the last digit is one of these three. This is an interpretation based on the star periods, not a fixed rule, and it may change when the next period begins.
The last digit of this plate is a lucky digit of Period 9, so 5 points are added.
