There are a lot of useful things to collect in Starfield but your inventory can fill up quickly in the RPG so you’ll likely need to sell some items eventually. Here’s exactly how you can sell items in the game and where to do so.

As you travel from planet to planet in Starfield‘s huge universe, you’ll steadily earn Credits, the game‘s primary currency, by completing missions and a variety of other activities. You won’t necessarily earn enough this way to be able to afford everything you need, however, so selling some of your items is a great way to make extra cash in the game.

Selling any rare items you find but don’t need, as well as all the excess loot you collect is a surefire way to earn Credits fast. The process itself is fairly easy but knowing exactly where to sell your items can be trickier when you’re just starting in the game.

With that in mind, here’s exactly where to sell items in Starfield.

Where to sell items in Starfield

You can sell items at any of the various vendors scattered across the galaxy. Speak to a vendor to open up the buy menu and then press LB (Xbox) or Q (PC) to sell items to them.

Pressing LB/Q while on the sell items screen will let you instead select items held in your ship’s Cargo Hold and sell them to the vendor.

Starfield vendors won’t always be able to afford what items you are trying to sell them.

You can only sell specific items to different vendors based on their specialty. For example, The Viewpoint cafe will only buy food and drink items while the UC Surplus armory store will take spare weapons and armor off your hands.

Vendors only have a set amount of Credits they can spend. A Vendor’s credits will refresh every 24 hours allowing you to sell more items to them.
