Our flying club sold our PA32R Lance because very few people were flying
it. As one of that few, I offered to ferry it out to the buyer. A CFI in
the club said I can't, because it's a commercial operation, even though
I'm not getting paid. Is he right?


I don't think the CFI is correct. It is not a commercial operation,
but I still would not want to stick my neck out to do the ferry
flight.
Has the airplane been sold, or is the sale pending? If it has been
sold, then you have to know whose insurance you are flying under. What
if the new owner says there are some dents in the fuselage that
weren't there when he made the deal? It's not worth it unless the
buyer is a famly member or personal friend. I would stay out of it.
