Understanding the Difference Between Commodities and Incommodities

In commodities, we talk about goods that are traded on a market. These goods can be raw materials or finished products. Examples of commodities include oil, gold, wheat, and coffee.

Incommodities, on the other hand, refers to goods that are not traded on a market. These goods may be unique or have limited availability, making them difficult to value or trade. Examples of incommodities include artwork, collectibles, and rare items such as vintage cars or antique furniture.

While commodities are widely available and can be easily exchanged for other goods or money, incommodities are not easily exchangeable and may have a more subjective value based on their rarity or uniqueness.
