In Oblivion Remastered , stolen items cannot be sold to regular merchants, as they refuse to buy stolen goods. To sell stolen items, you must find special NPCs called fences who are willing to buy stolen merchandise.
How to Sell Stolen Items
- The primary and most reliable way to sell stolen goods is by joining the Thieves Guild. As you progress through the guild ranks, you gain access to multiple fences located in different cities. Each fence requires a certain rank in the Thieves Guild to trade with them.
- If you are not a member of the Thieves Guild, the only fence available to all players is Manheim Maulhand , the innkeeper at the Inn of Ill Omen , located on the Green Road between the Imperial City and Bravil. He has limited gold and inventory space but can buy stolen items early on.
- After joining the Thieves Guild, you can sell stolen goods to these fences:
Fence NPC| Location| Required Thieves Guild Rank
---|---|---
Ongar the World-Weary| Bruma (Olav’s Tap and Tack)| Pickpocket (starting rank)
Dar Jee| Leyawiin| Bandit
Luciana Galena| Bravil| Cat Burglar
Orrin| Anvil| Shadowfoot
Fathis Ules| Imperial City or Chorrol| Master Thief
- Additionally, if you have the Thieves Den DLC and have upgraded the Dunbarrow Cove hideout, you can sell stolen goods to merchants there (Khafiz, Jak Silver, Koven Kren, and Melliwin) without being in the Thieves Guild.
- There is also a Black Market Shop northwest of the Imperial City, which includes a fence and is almost always open with a large gold supply.
Summary
- Join the Thieves Guild to access the best fences.
- Use Manheim Maulhand at the Inn of Ill Omen if you are not in the guild.
- Upgrade Dunbarrow Cove (Thieves Den DLC) for additional fences.
- Visit the Black Market Shop near the Imperial City for a fence with a large gold pool.
This system ensures you have multiple options depending on your progress and affiliations in the game
