In Starfield, you can sell your items at various locations depending on the type of goods you want to offload. Here are the main places to sell stuff:
- Trade Authority Shops and Kiosks : These are found on most major planets and spaceports. They are a reliable place to sell a variety of goods, including contraband. The green Trade Authority kiosks at major spaceports are especially convenient for quick sales, often located near the ship landing areas or ship technicians
- General Stores : Local general stores like Jemison Mercantile in New Atlantis are great for selling a wide range of items. Jemison Mercantile is located in the Spaceport area of New Atlantis and is a good choice for general selling needs
- City Vendors and Shops : Major cities such as New Atlantis and Neon have multiple vendors and shops where you can sell items. For example, New Atlantis has a Commercial District with places like the UC Distribution Center and Outlander that buy and sell a broad range of goods. Neon City has a cyberpunk-style market area called the Core with many shops to sell to
- Specialized Merchants : Some stores specialize in certain types of items, such as weapons, outfits, or tactical gear. To sell specific categories, visit the corresponding specialized shops, but for mixed items, general stores or Trade Authority shops are preferred
- For Contraband : The best place to sell contraband safely without risk of being scanned and caught is The Den space station in the Wolf System. It does not require a ship scan on arrival, making it the safest option for selling illicit goods. Otherwise, contraband can be sold at Trade Authority shops, but with a risk of detection

- Approach a vendor and open their Buy menu.
- Press LB (Xbox) or Q (PC) to switch to the Sell menu.
- Press again to toggle selling from your inventory or your ship’s cargo hold, allowing you to sell items without carrying them physically
In summary, the easiest and most versatile places to sell items in Starfield are the Trade Authority kiosks at spaceports and general stores like Jemison Mercantile in New Atlantis, with specialized shops and city vendors available for particular item types. For contraband, The Den in the Wolf System is the safest and best option
