Knowing where to sell items in Starfield means you can offload things, resources, and more for credits. With lots of different shops scattered around the various planets of the Settled Systems, and confusing item value stats, Starfield doesn't make it easy to know where and how to best sell your stuff - the 'Value' stat in particular doesn't really reflect how much you'll be paid for selling an item. To help you make more space money, I've got some tips below to help you sell items in quickly and for the most profit.
How to sell things in Starfield
To sell things in Starfield find any vendor or store owner, talk to them and press "LB" to swap from the buying menu to the selling menu. You can even press LB again to sell items directly from your ship's cargo inventory, so you don't have to carry it across town yourself.
The easiest place to sell things are the green Trade Authority Kiosks that are at all major spaceports where you land your ships, as shown above. They're usually either at the exit to the landing pad, or next to the attending ship technician.
Beyond that, you can find stores with human vendors in all major Starfield cities. In New Atlantis on Jemison, there's a whole Commercial District full of vendors - if you've just fast travelled here or got off the tram, head across the pool directly ahead of you in the direction of the Lodge to find the UC Distribution Center or Outlander, both of which sell and buy everything that a hardy space adventurer would probably need. Alternatively, the city of Neon on Volii Alpha is one big cyberpunk market, at least at the "Core" section, with a street of shops you can use to your leisure.
What to do when Vendors run out of money in Starfield
Sell enough stuff and vendors can run out of money, meaning they'll still take things but won't give you any cash for them. If a vendor is out of money, the best thing to do is find a nearby chair or bed and wait in Starfield for twenty-four hours. Vendors get supplies of money back every day, so you just need to wait to do more business. They can also get money back if you buy things from them, but that doesn't help much if they don't have anything you want to buy.
Of course, if you're finding yourself strapped for cash, we've got a Starfield money page right here, with tips on glitches, exploits, farming and generally how to make yourself an astronomically wealthy astronaut.
