Thanks.
Many years ago in Florida, I sold a used projection TV via a classified ad. No sales tax was involved in that transaction; there is no mechanism to collect the sales tax for such transactions. If I sold a used motor vehicle to an individual, the registration of that vehicle would have to be changed, and I suspect a sales tax would have to be paid at that time. Since golf carts (and old projection TVs) do not have state of Florida registrations, there is no mechanism to collect sales tax.
