In Starfield, you can sell items at various vendors and shops scattered across the Settled Systems. Here are the key places and tips for selling items:
Main Places to Sell Items
- Trade Authority Kiosks : Found at most major spaceports near where you land your ship, often next to the ship services technician. These kiosks allow you to sell items directly from your personal inventory or your ship's cargo, which is very convenient if you're encumbered
- New Atlantis (Alpha Centauri system) : The Commercial District has multiple vendors such as Jemison Mercantile, Outland, and UC Distribution Center. These general merchants buy and sell a wide variety of goods, making it a great place to offload items
- Neon (Volii system) : Known for its cyberpunk market vibe, Neon Core has many shops clustered together, making it a fast and efficient place to sell goods. It also has a large Trade Authority shop for selling contraband or stolen items
- The Key (Kryx system) : If you have a bounty or deal with piracy, The Key's market called The Depot is a good place to sell items, especially if you are friendly with the Crimson Fleet faction
- Akila (Cheyenne system) : This smaller city has vendors like Shepherd's General Store and Rowland Arms, plus a Trade Authority store, useful for selling various items
How to Sell Items
- Approach a vendor and open the Buy menu.
- Press LB (Xbox) or Q (PC) to switch to the Sell menu.
- Press the button again to toggle between your personal inventory and your ship's cargo for selling items without carrying them physically
Additional Tips
- Some vendors specialize in certain item types (e.g., weapons, outfits), so for general selling, use general merchants like Jemison Mercantile.
- To sell stolen or contraband items, visit Trade Authority vendors, who will buy these goods.
- Improving the Commerce skill increases the credits you receive from sales and reduces purchase costs, maximizing your profit
In summary, the best and easiest places to sell items are the Trade Authority kiosks at spaceports, the Commercial District in New Atlantis, and the Neon Core shops. For contraband, Trade Authority vendors are your go-to. Using your ship's cargo inventory for selling can save time and effort.
