One. Positive. Can't remember the name but I got his number from a guy who knew a guy who knew....

Our house was turnkey and that included a golf cart. Sort of, anyway. About 20 years old, electric, that went maybe two miles on a charge. I had stopped at a place to see what it might be worth on trade, and received a lukewarm "maybe $400--if it's in good shape". Nope.

Anyway, I called the guy. First names only. Told him about the cart and made an appointment for the following morning. He showed up promptly towing a trailer with one other cart on it, looked it over and said "a grand". Told him I could get more if I advertised it and would ask $1,600. After a few more exchanges we settled on $1,400.00. He peeled of fourteen hundred-dollar bills, handed them over, loaded up the cart and was gone.

Never even knew his last name.
