Maybe he thinks

Sales = Commerce

I don't buy it. Are you saying if I sell a plane I own I can't take it to
the buyer or fly it somewhere for a buyer to to see it? I could make the
same flight legally to sell widgets either for myself or my employer.


Don't the FARs contain explicit language about demoing airplanes for sale
not requiring a commercial rating?

Not that that applies to my situation - the plane is sold, I'm just
delivering it to the buyer.

I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad thing.
Probably a bad thing; most things are bad things.
