If so, then what value does it have in the world today?

clearly you have an obsession about truth today. Why are you asking 10 different questions about truth? You must be feeling guilty about some lie you told.

It is not a commodity in the sense that apples and oranges are! Honesty is a value. That means you want it even if it does not seem to do you any good in a particular situation. Because it is important to you in itself, and not for what it will get you.
If honesty is a commodity, then I can decide to use it when it seems useful. For instance I might come to the conclusion as a salesman that if I am honest, people will trust me more and buy from me. That will be good until I find myself in a situation where the benefit of lying is just too great. Since honesty is a commodity for me rather than a value, then in that case I would lie. But that's not honesty at all. It's just saying the truth when convenient. Real honesty is a value.

In my opinion, Yes!! Honesty is a commodity's it is a symbol of your creditability, integrity knowledge and experiences in life, to let people know that you can be trusted in any and all saturation that life and this old mean world holds for you, and other will respect you.

Mr Ed! Good on ya!
Commodity - something that can be bought or sold? For some, I imagine the answer is yes. For me, I have to agree with Mr Ed's statement. In my corner of the universe, honesty is a way of life. :-)
Honestly! :-)
