Where to sell items in Starfield

Picking up anything and everything not nailed down is a key part of the Bethesda RPG experience, and it’s front and center in Starfield. The problem comes when your pockets are so filled with other people’s things that you can’t move anywhere without taking up a massive amount of oxygen (Starfield’s punishment for the much maligned encumbrance mechanic).

Finding a place that actually wants the garbage you’ve picked up on your adventures is one thing, but what happens when your favorite buyer runs out of credits?

Vendors have a credit limit of roughly one day per vendor. Starfield, and you can bump into that limit very quickly if you’re selling high-value items like spacesuits. If you’ve invested in the Commerce skillThese interactions can help you get the most bang out of your dollar. However, that also means you’ll drain your store’s piggy bank even faster — which actually hinders your ability to offload junk, even if it increases your profit margin.

So what do you do when you still have stuff to sell but you’ve bled your vendor dry? Sleep, you sleep.

All shops are open 24 hours a day They also refresh their credit reserves. You can go back on your ship and sleep for 24 hours before returning to the store to sell more items.

This is the fastest way to get there. The DenA space station is a satellite in orbit. The Wolf system. The walk from your ship to the local Trade Authority (both the kiosk and the store) is very short, plus you don’t get scanned when boarding, which makes it a great spot to offload some stolen or contraband items. You can dock at The Den to walk in and sell your things, then walk back on your ship. Sleep, repeat. This is especially good if you’re encumbered and therefore unable to fast travel.

If you are able to fast travel — for example if you’re primarily selling stuff from your ship’s cargo hold — it might actually be worth it to fast travel from Trade Authority to Trade Authority, as sleeping in this game actually takes a very long time to play out.

Finally, it’s worth mentioning that Buy items from a store also replenishes their credit stores with the credits you just spent — almost like a bartering system. So if you want to sell more stuff to a shop but they’re out of credits, consider browsing their selection before nodding off for the night.
