You can sell contraband in Starfield primarily at Trade Authority shops or kiosks. However, the best and safest place to sell contraband without getting scanned or caught is The Den , a space station located in the Wolf system. This station does not scan your ship upon arrival, allowing you to sell contraband freely at the Trade Authority vendor inside the station

Key points for selling contraband in Starfield:

• The Den (Wolf system) : No ship scanning on arrival, making it the easiest and safest place to sell contraband. Dock your ship, enter the station, and find the Trade Authority vendor near the entrance to sell your items

• Trade Authority shops/kiosks : Available in major hub worlds and space stations such as New Atlantis (Jemison), Cydonia (Mars), and The Key (home of the Crimson Fleet in the Kryx system). These places scan for contraband, so you risk fines or jail if caught, except The Key if you are a Crimson Fleet member

• Vendors have limited credits, so you may need to wait 48 hours in-game to reset their available credits to sell more contraband

• Shielded cargo or fast travel can help smuggle contraband past scanners in other systems, but The Den avoids this risk altogether

In summary, for the best chance to sell contraband safely and efficiently, head to The Den in the Wolf system and sell your illicit goods at the Trade Authority vendor there.
