In Starfield, you can sell your items at various locations depending on the type of goods and convenience:
- Trade Authority Kiosks : These green kiosks are found at all major spaceports near your ship landing pads and ship technicians. They are the easiest and most convenient places to sell items, including contraband and stolen goods. You can also sell items directly from your ship's cargo inventory here, which saves you from carrying items across town
- Major Cities and Settlements : Most major cities like New Atlantis (Alpha Centauri system), Neon (Volii Alpha), Akila (Cheyenne system), and The Key (Kryx system) have multiple vendors and shops where you can sell items. For example, New Atlantis has a Commercial District with vendors like UC Distribution Center, Outlander, and Jemison Mercantile near the spaceport. Neon Core has a dense market with many shops and a big Trade Authority store
- General Merchants and Specialty Stores : Depending on the item type, you might want to visit general merchants like Jemison Mercantile for a broad range of goods or specialty shops such as weapon stores, outfitters, or tactical gear stores. Some vendors only buy specific item types, so choosing the right vendor can maximize your sale price
- The Key Space Station : If you have a bounty or are involved with the Crimson Fleet faction, The Key has a market called The Depot where you can sell goods safely after completing faction quests
To sell, approach a vendor, open the buy menu, then press LB (Xbox) or Q (PC) to switch to the sell menu. Pressing LB/Q again lets you sell items directly from your ship inventory
. For best profits, consider investing in the Commerce skill, which increases sale prices and reduces purchase costs
. In summary, the best places to sell stuff in Starfield are Trade Authority kiosks at spaceports and major city vendors, with New Atlantis and Neon being prime hubs for trading
