Lootable items are a trademark of Bethesda RPGs and Starfield proudly carries on that tradition. The game features a massive amount of items that can be picked up and sold at shops. Here are the best places to sell items in Starfield.


Starfield has no shortage of items that can quickly fill up players’ inventory. From weapons and spacesuits to consumables and resources, nearly everything can be looted in the game. Most of these items have values attached to them and can be sold to in-game vendors.

However, all vendors in Starfield are unique, and selling your goods to the right vendor is equally important. Some of them will offer great prices for your items and properly reward your efforts.

On that note, let’s take a look at the best places to sell items in Starfield, including all the major vendors in the game.

Best vendors to sell items in Starfield

Items can be sold to almost every vendor in Starfield. These vendors are spread across the galaxy in the game, although some stand out due to the value they offer. It’s important to remember that to sell items, simply switch over to the sell menu using LB on console or Q on keyboard.
