{{Confuse|Goods}}
The world of [[Elite Dangerous]] is partly one of inter-global commerce. Many stations have or need certain '''Commodities''', and have fluctuating buy and sell rates which allow commanders to make money on the market. These items are divided into commodity types.
 
The [[human]] populated [[Star system|systems]] bustle with interstellar [[:Category:Commerce|commerce]]. Many [[station]]s, [[Settlement|settlements]] and [[Surface Port|Surface Ports]] require '''Commodities'''. They have fluctuating buy and sell rates which allow [[Commander|commanders]] to make [[Credits|money]] on the [[Market Economy|market]]. Most commodities are transported in [[Cargo Canister]]s which require [[Cargo Rack]]s that are installed in [[ships]].
Commodities can be bought and sold at any [[Station]]s that has a "Commodities Market" - accessible through the Starport Services menu. To buy and sell [[Illegal Goods|illegal]] or [[Stolen Goods|stolen]] commodities the player must find a station that has a [[Black Market]]. The availability of certain commodities can vary greatly from station to station. Generally stations will produce and consume certain commodities based upon their economy type. Prices of commodities are dynamic and will fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including as a direct result of player interaction. Trade routes and strategies can change on a day to day basis - especially in areas with a high amount of player activity.
 
Commodities can be bought and sold at any [[Station]] with a ''Commodities Market'' which is accessible via the ''Starport Services'' menu. To buy and sell [[Illegal Goods|illegal]] or [[Stolen Goods|stolen]] commodities, the commander must find a station with a [[Black Market]]. The availability of certain commodities can vary greatly per station. Generally, stations produce and consume commodities based on their [[Market Economy]] type. Commodity prices are dynamic and fluctuate based on various factors including player interaction. Trade routes and strategies can change on a daily basis, especially in areas with a high amount of player activity. The [[Background Simulation]] is directly impacted by trading.
Ambitious [[trader]]s can make large amounts of [[credits]] by transporting commodities which they've bought at a low price and selling at a higher price. There are many [[Third Party Tools]] that can aid in finding trade routes throughout populated space.

Rare Commodities increase in value the further away they are transported from the system of origin (up to 200 ly, after which the value ceases rising). See also: [[:Category:Rare Commodities]].
