In Starfield, you can sell items at various locations, with some of the best options being:
- Trade Authority Kiosks : These are green kiosks found at most major spaceports near the Ship Services Technician. They allow you to sell items directly from your inventory or your ship's cargo, making them very convenient for quick sales
- Major Cities and Commercial Districts :
- New Atlantis on Jemison has a Commercial District with many vendors including UC Distribution Center, Outlander, Whetstone, and Jemison Mercantile near the ship landing area. These general merchants buy a wide range of items, making it easy to offload goods
* _Neon_ on Volii Alpha is a cyberpunk-style city with many shops clustered in the Core section. It also has a large Trade Authority shop good for selling contraband and stolen goods
* _Akila_ in the Cheyenne system has vendors like Shepherd's General Store and Rowland Arms, plus a Trade Authority store behind Galbank
- The Key Space Station : If you have a bounty and are allied with the Crimson Fleet, The Key station in the Kryx system has a market called The Depot where you can sell goods safely
- Specialized Shops : Some shops only buy specific item types (e.g., weapons, ammo, food), so for mixed items, general merchants like Jemison Mercantile are best
To sell items, interact with 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's cargo without carrying them into the store
. Improving the Commerce skill increases the credits you receive from sales and reduces purchase costs, making selling more profitable
. In summary, for convenience and best prices, start with Trade Authority Kiosks at spaceports and general merchants in New Atlantis and Neon. For contraband or stolen goods, Trade Authority shops or The Key station are ideal locations
