Commodities are basic goods, but they're products that are essentially the same from all suppliers and are, therefore, sold on price rather than any unique quality of the good.

I use wheat as an example of a commodity. All the wheat of a particular type, like hard red winter wheat, is the same. You choose to buy it from Grain Dealer A rather than Grain Dealer B because Grain Dealer A has more in stock so you can be more sure of getting any, has an elevator a quarter-mile from your bakery, or has more trucks so you can put in an order and get it quickly.
