Land. (not quite "goods", but often bought and sold).

Companies, Businesses, Stocks and Shares, Loans: (Also not quite "goods", but often bought and sold.)

Futures contracts and other "Derivatives": (not really "goods" but often bought and sold).

Votes, (or other "influence", not quite the same as time, but often bought and sold).

Views (or publicity or "eyeballs"). Advertising space or publicity is not quite either goods or time, but it is often bought or sold.

Expertise. (May involve time, but is not quite the same thing as time, and is often bought and sold).

Information or Intelligence. (Not quite the same thing as "goods", but often bought and sold).

There are probably other categories which I cannot think of right now.
