- The Copious Coinpurse in the Imperial City Market District is a general goods store that buys almost anything non-stolen and has a high gold limit for transactions.

Selling Stolen Goods
- To sell stolen items, you must find a fence , merchants affiliated with the Thieves Guild. Examples include:
- Ongar the World-Weary
- Dar Jee in Leyawiin
- Luciana Galena in Bravil
- Orrin in Anvil
- Fathis Ules in Imperial City or Chorrol
- You need to join the Thieves Guild to access most fences.
- If not in the Thieves Guild, you can sell stolen goods to Manheim Maulhand at the Inn of Ill Omen, though he has limited gold
Additional Tips
- Merchants have a gold limit that caps how much they will pay for items.
- Once you reach level 50 in Mercantile skill, you can sell any item to any merchant regardless of their specialty, but the gold limit still applies.
- Haggling can increase the price you get when selling
In summary, for general goods, head to the Imperial City Market District and sell to specialized merchants like Ogier Georick and Varel Morvayn for best prices. For stolen goods, join the Thieves Guild and sell to fences like Orrin or Luciana Galena.
