Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), a merchant is someone who deals in goods of the kind being sold, has knowledge or skill unique to the goods being sold, or employs a merchant as a broker, agent, or intermediary. Since Judy is an expert horse trainer and is selling a horse, she would be considered a merchant under the UCC. Dan, Will, and Philip are not necessarily merchants in this situation because they are selling items that may not be part of their regular business dealings.
