In Starfield, the best places to sell items are:
- Trade Authority Kiosks : These green kiosks are found at most major spaceports near the Ship Services Technician. They allow you to sell items directly from your ship's inventory, making it very convenient if you're encumbered or have a lot to sell
- General Stores like Jemison Mercantile in New Atlantis : This is a good spot for selling a variety of items and is located near where your ship lands in New Atlantis
- Commercial District in New Atlantis : Includes vendors like UC Distribution Center and Outlander, which buy and sell a wide range of goods. This district is accessible after visiting New Atlantis and using fast travel
- Neon City on Volii Alpha : Known for its many shops in the "Core" section, Neon is a great place to sell items quickly. It also has a large Trade Authority shop that can buy contraband and other goods
- Other cities with vendors :
- Akila (Cheyenne system) has Shepherd's General Store, Rowland Arms, and a Trade Authority store.
- The Key space station (Kryx System) has The Depot market, useful especially if you have a bounty or are allied with the Crimson Fleet
How to sell: Approach any vendor or Trade Authority, open their buy menu, then press LB (Xbox) or Q (PC) to switch to the sell menu. Pressing it again lets you sell items directly from your ship's cargo
. Additional tips:
- Vendors have limited cash, so selling at Trade Authority kiosks or larger shops is often better.
- Some vendors only buy specific item types, so general stores or Trade Authorities are best for mixed goods.
- The Commerce skill improves selling prices and buying discounts, making trading more profitable
In summary, the most efficient and accessible places to sell items in Starfield are the Trade Authority kiosks at major spaceports and general merchants in major cities like New Atlantis and Neon
