It's not metaphysical; there has to be physical branding on the commodity (e.g. a logo for clothes, a particular operating system for phones). "Grift" is only a subjective label -- everything that's sold is a commodity, the question is whether commodities with the same use value should be categorized as different kinds of commodities based on branding
