Starfield: Best Places to Sell Items

Optimal Locations for Selling Items in Starfield

In Starfield, numerous vendors are willing to buy a wide variety of items, except for stolen or illegal goods. Finding the right vendors, especially for high-value contraband, can significantly impact your profits. Here, we'll explore the prime locations to maximize your earnings when selling items in Starfield.

1. The Key of the Crimson Fleet - Your One-Stop Shop

For a universal selling experience, look no further than The Key of the Crimson Fleet. This is your go-to destination for offloading almost any item at favorable prices. As you progress through the UC SysDef vs. Crimson Fleet questline, you'll gain access to The Key, the Crimson Fleet's personal space station. Here's why it stands out:

• Abundance of Vendors: The Key boasts the highest concentration of vendors within a compact space, with a total of five available.
• Acceptance of Contraband: Every vendor at The Key is willing to purchase stolen items and contraband, making it the ideal place to sell illicit goods.
• Rich Merchants: Merchants at The Key typically carry substantial amounts of credits, often ranging from 10,000 to 12,000 credits, which means more lucrative transactions for you.

Additionally, The Key doesn't subject you to contraband scans before you board, and if the vendors there have their inventories fully restocked with credits, you can easily earn 50,000-60,000 credits in a short time. Jazz, the ship services agent at The Key, even buys ships, potentially increasing your profits further.

2. Selling Planetary Survey Data - Vladimir's Offer

Planetary survey data is among the most valuable items in Starfield, often fetching hundreds or even thousands of credits at any vendor. However, Vladimir, the proprietor of The Eye for Constellation, stands out by offering double the standard price for survey data. For instance, a set of gas giant data could fetch around 1,500 credits when selling to Vladimir.

Gas giants are relatively common planet types, especially in safer star systems. By surveying around 10 of them, you can easily accumulate 10,000-15,000 credits. Keep in mind that Vladimir's credit reserves usually hover around 10,000 credits, so you may need to wait for his inventory to refresh to sell more.

3. Maximizing Profits from Ship Sales

When it comes to selling ships, it's worth noting that there isn't a significant price difference among ship services vendors, including Jazz of the Crimson Fleet. To maximize your earnings from ships, consider capturing those you don't intend to use immediately. However, refrain from selling them right away.

To sell a ship, you must first register it, which typically incurs a fee amounting to around 75% of the ship's final sale price. Therefore, it's advisable to register captured ships and hold onto them. When you require a quick injection of cash, you'll have a backlog of ships ready to replenish your funds.

These strategic selling locations and tips will help you make the most of your trading endeavors in Starfield, whether you're offloading various items or surveying planets for valuable data.
