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.


You are right and that same PPL aircraft salesman can deliver a plane.
