You can sell almost anything in Starfield at Trade Authority kiosks or vendors in the major cities like New Atlantis, Neon, Akila City, and on the Crimson Fleet’s station, The Key.

How selling works

  • Talk to any vendor, open the shop screen, then switch from Buy to Sell (on controller this is done with the button that toggles view, such as LB).
  • You can usually toggle again to sell straight from your ship’s cargo , so you don’t need to haul everything on your character.
  • Vendors have limited credits, so you may need to spread your selling across several shops or wait 24 in‑game hours for their credits to reset.

Best general places to sell stuff

These locations buy a wide variety of items and are easy to reach.

  • Trade Authority Kiosks (spaceports)
    • Found at major landing pads in places like New Atlantis, Cydonia, Neon, and Akila City.
* Identified as yellow or green Trade Authority terminals near the ship technician or pad exit.

* They buy almost **any item type** , which is ideal when your inventory is a random mess of loot.
  • Trade Authority main buildings
    • The Trade Authority HQ in New Atlantis has a vendor with around 11,000 credits , more than most early‑game shops.
* They also **accept contraband** , which normal vendors usually refuse.
  • New Atlantis – Jemison Mercantile & UC vendors
    • In the Commercial District , shops like Jemison Mercantile, UC Surplus, UC Distribution, Centaurion Arsenal, Apex Electronics, Outlander and others will buy a broad mix of gear.
* Good for unloading weapons, armor, general junk, and basic resources in one city run.

City-by-city selling spots

New Atlantis (Jemison)

  • Trade Authority main building – Best for big hauls and contraband, high credit pool.
  • Jemison Mercantile & UC Surplus – General goods and surplus gear.
  • Centaurion Arsenal / Apex Electronics / UC Distribution – Good for weapons, armor, and tech loot.
  • Spaceport Trade Authority Kiosk – Quick sell point right near your landing pad.

Quick loop idea: land at Jemison, use the kiosk, then ride to the Commercial District and hit multiple stores in one circuit for more total credits.

Akila City (Cheyenne system)

  • As soon as you land, Shepherd’s General Store is near the dock, letting you sell fast without long walks.
  • Rowland Arms and Laredo Firearms are excellent for offloading old or extra guns and picking up upgrades.
  • Chunks buys food items, which tend to pile up unnoticed in your inventory.
  • Midtown Minerals is ideal for selling mined resources and minerals , especially if you use outposts.
  • There’s also a Trade Authority Kiosk near GalBank for additional quick selling.

Neon (Volii Alpha)

  • Neon’s “Core” street is essentially one big market with many vendors packed close together.
  • Shops like Mining League and Sieghart’s Outfitters have larger credit pools , making them great for big sales.
  • Neon also has several Aid shops , letting you sell and immediately reinvest in med packs and status‑curing items.
  • A Trade Authority Kiosk just to the left of the entrance gives you a fast sell point as you arrive.

Cydonia (Mars)

  • Use the Trade Authority Kiosk in the Central Hub for mixed junk and contraband.
  • Standard stores around the hub can take category‑specific gear (weapons, armor, etc.), similar to other cities.

Best contraband selling options

Contraband (items marked with a yellow icon that trigger scans in secure systems) must be sold carefully.

  • Trade Authority
    • Their main buildings and many kiosks will buy contraband while most normal shops refuse it.
* This makes them your default safe spot once you get past scans or use shielded cargo.
  • Crimson Fleet station – The Key
    • The Depot market area on The Key has several wealthy vendors, all of whom openly accept contraband.
* They also sell rare gear, so it’s a strong mid‑to‑late game trading hub if you’re willing to work with pirates.

Where to sell specific item types

Because some vendors only buy what they also sell, it helps to match loot to the right shop.

  • Weapons and armor
    • Weapon shops (Rowland Arms, Laredo Firearms, Centaurion Arsenal) and tactical gear vendors pay reliably for guns and combat gear.
* Outfitters and armor‑focused stores also buy suits, helmets, and packs.
  • Aid and medical
    • Aid shops and clinics will buy stims, med packs, and chems and are common in big cities like Neon.
  • Resources & minerals
    • Midtown Minerals in Akila and industrial‑style vendors are good for ores and harvested outpost materials.
  • Food & misc junk
    • Food chains like Chunks and general stores (Shepherd’s, Jemison Mercantile) will take food, drink, and all the random clutter you pick up.

Tips to sell faster and make more credits

  • Start at a Trade Authority Kiosk each time you land to clear the heaviest junk first.
  • Chain several vendors in the same city (for example, New Atlantis or Neon) so you’re not limited to one shop’s small credit pool.
  • Wait 24 in‑game hours near a vendor to reset their credits when you still have high‑value items left.
  • Invest in the Commerce skill to buy cheaper and sell for higher prices , boosting profit on every run.
  • Whenever possible, sell directly from ship cargo through the vendor interface so you don’t get over‑encumbered walking around the city.

TL;DR: For “where to sell stuff Starfield,” aim for Trade Authority kiosks at spaceports for quick sells, city vendor loops in New Atlantis/Neon/Akila for volume, and The Key or Trade Authority depots if you’re dealing in contraband or high‑value loot.
