In Starfield, to sell items, players need to find a vendor or store owner and interact with them. After opening the Buy menu by asking to see their wares, pressing the LB button (Xbox) or Q key (PC) switches to the Sell menu. Pressing LB or Q again switches the selling inventory from the player's personal inventory to their ship's cargo hold, allowing the sale of items stored on the ship without physically carrying them to the vendor. Some vendors specialize in specific types of goods, so to sell a variety of items, visiting general stores or trade authorities is recommended. Notably, stolen items cannot be sold through standard vendors and require visiting a Trade Authority to sell contraband items. The Commerce skill can also improve selling prices and buying discounts. Popular selling locations include general stores in major cities like New Atlantis and trade authority kiosks often found at spaceports. Key points:

• Speak to a vendor and open their Buy menu.
• Press LB (Xbox) or Q (PC) to toggle to selling mode.
• Press again to toggle between personal inventory and ship cargo.
• Some vendors only buy specific item types.
• Use Trade Authority for selling contraband and stolen items.
• Commerce skill boosts sale prices.
• Vendors are found in major cities, settlements, spaceports, and trade kiosks.

This method applies to items like weapons, gear, spacesuits, junk, and more, making it easy to offload unwanted goods and earn Credits in Starfield.
