starfield where to sell

In Starfield, you can sell almost anything at general vendors in major cities, but the most efficient places (especially for contraband and high-value loot) are Trade Authority locations and a few specific hubs.

Quick Scoop: Best Places to Sell in Starfield

1. Trade Authority (Depots + Kiosks)

These are your go-to for quick selling and for offloading contraband.

  • Trade Authority main building in New Atlantis pays very well and buys contraband, with a high amount of credits on hand.
  • Trade Authority Kiosks (small yellow/green terminals) are found at major spaceports like New Atlantis, Cydonia, Neon, and Akila City.
  • Kiosks let you quickly sell junk and contraband right by your landing pad, saving you a long walk through the city.

Tip: Vendors have limited credits; if one runs out, wait 24 in‑game hours to reset their funds.

2. New Atlantis: Easy Early-Game Selling

New Atlantis on Jemison has several shops close together for different item types.

  • Jemison Mercantile and UC Distribution Center : Great for general goods and miscellaneous loot.
  • UC Surplus , Centaurion Arsenal , Apex Electronics : Good for weapons, armor, and tech gear.
  • You can use the LB button on controller in any shop to switch to the selling menu, and press it again to sell directly from your ship cargo.

3. Akila City, Neon, and Other Big Markets

Once you branch out, these cities become money-making hubs.

  • Akila City (Cheyenne system):
    • Shepherd’s General Store right near the ship dock for fast selling.
* **Rowland Arms** and **Laredo Firearms** are ideal for clearing out extra guns.
  • Neon (Volii Alpha):
    • A dense strip of shops with over nine vendors who buy a wide range of items.
* **Mining League** and **Sieghart’s Outfitters** have good credit pools and buy lots of loot.

* Several **Aid shops** let you turn junk into healing items and meds.

4. The Key (Crimson Fleet Station) – High-End Selling

If you’re into piracy or contraband, this is the late‑game moneymaker.

  • The Crimson Fleet station, The Key , has a market area called The Depot with some of the richest vendors in the game.
  • Vendors here accept contraband , have lots of credits, and often sell rare gear you won’t see elsewhere.
  • Many players on forums consider The Key the best loop for repeatedly selling high-value loot without lots of loading screens.

5. How to Sell (Controls & Basics)

If you’re just trying to figure out the “how,” not just the “where”:

  • Talk to any shop vendor, open the trade menu, then press LB to switch from buying to selling.
  • Press LB again to sell from your ship’s cargo instead of manually hauling everything in your inventory.
  • You can find vendors quickly via city directory boards (look for them in major settlements and spaceports).

Mini Example: Early-Game Selling Route

  1. Land at New Atlantis.
  2. Use the Trade Authority Kiosk near the pad to dump heavy junk and contraband.
  1. Take the transit to the Commercial District , hit Jemison Mercantile and UC Distribution for the rest.
  1. If vendors are out of credits, wait 24 hours and repeat.
