While exploring the vast Starfield universe, you will find valuable loot in your travels. To avoid the hassle of cluttering your personal or ship’s inventory, selling all your loot in one place is a good idea to earn money in Starfield. Despite the many accessible vendors in-game, not all will have enough credits or merchandise to suit your needs. However, four vendors in Starfield have better products and sufficient credits for you to sell most of your loot.
- Most of the the vendors in Starfield have a small amount of credits to buy the player’s goods, which makes it difficult to sell all your loot.
- There are 17 vendors in Starfield, but only 4 significant vendors have sufficient credits to buy all your items.
- Using these merchants, players can easily sell all their loot in one place without worrying about resting repeatedly to reset their credits.
- The only disadvantage about using these merchants in Starfield is that some of them do not accept contraband, while others are only accessible after you join a specific faction.

| 4 | Centurian Arsenal | Resedential District in New Atlantis City at Jemison. | - 12500 Credits. - Has a good selection of weapons. | - Only buys/sells weapons. | Selling High-value items |
4. Centurian Arsenal
- Why I Chose This: The Centurian Arsenal has the highest amount of cash than any other shop in New Atlantis (other than the Trade Authority) so it’s an ideal spot for disposing of junk for credits.
The Centurian Arsenal is a weapons dealer in New Atlantis on Jemison planet. Since New Atlantis is the center of operations for the Constellation (the main story faction in Starfield), you will spend much of your time there. For this reason, having a vendor where you can offload some of your loot in bulk is helpful.
The vendor has twelve thousand five hundred credits, more than any other Vendor in the central city of New Atlantis.
- Highest number of available credits.
- Great selection of weapons.
- Can only sell ammo, weapons, and throwables.
3. Ship Services
- Why I Chose This: Modifying ships is one of the biggest improvements you can make to your Starfield experience, which is why this vendor is a must-visit.
Apart from standard weapons and goods, only a few vendors in Starfield’s universe deal in ships. The Ship Services merchants are located throughout the Starfield map and can be easily accessed by any player. The Ship Services make it convenient to sell your stolen ships regardless of your star system.
- One of the few vendors to buy, sell, and modify ships.
- Can be easily located near any primary landing site.
- Ship Services has a variety of ships across locations.
- Lackluster profit from selling ships.
- Registration fee for selling ships makes stolen ships tough to sell.
- Loot cannot be sold here.
2. Zuri’s Essentials
- Why I Chose This: In my experience, Zuri’s Essential is the most convenient vendor you can sell your loot to, particularly thanks to its leniency and ease in restocking items.
Located on the Crimson Fleet Spacestation, “The Key” in the Kyrx star system, Zuri’s Essentials is one of the most convenient, reliable, and wealthiest merchants in Starfield. Since no contraband scanners exist on the Key, you can quickly sell stolen items at Zuri’s Essentials.
Additionally, it is relatively easy to reset the merchant if you want to trade more goods. The merchant at Zuri’s Essentials has about fourteen thousand to twenty-five thousand credits, making it one of the wealthiest merchants in Starfield.
- One of the wealthiest merchants.
- Deals in various goods.
- Nearby sitting benches help pass the time for the vendor to restock.
- Merchant accepts contraband items.
- Joining the Crimson Fleet is essential to get the Key.
1. Trade Authority
- Why I Chose This: If you had to choose 1 merchant for all your dealings, I would undoubtedly recommend one from the Trade Authority because they have the best bits of all the aforementioned vendors.
The Trade Authority (TA) is the largest vendor in Starfield, with shops in every major city. They deal in a wide range of goods, and their shops have one of the highest credits available to offload your goods. The TA also has a Kiosk Terminal setup at landing sites where you can sell minor goods. Overall, I find the TA’s vendor incredibly versatile since, in my experience, I never came across any shortcomings when dealing with them.
The only downside to using the trade authority is bypassing the contraband scanners if you want to sell your illegal items here (contraband can not be sold on Kiosks).
- Requires bypassing the contraband scanners for selling illegal items.
Similar Options
I excluded some of the best options for the Vendors in Starfield from my top 4 list due to specific reasons.
- Mining League: It only offers a higher quantity of certain resources, enabling stacking, but lacks craftable materials such as adaptive frame.
- Reliant Medical: This vendor is ideal for stockpiling Med Packs and various aid items to quickly remedy afflictions while on the move.
- Jemison Mercantile: This is the most viable vendor for you as it is the most flexible vendor and contains both common and rare items.
What Are Vendors In Starfield?
Many merchants specialize in one type of item, like weapons, crafting materials, and medical supplies. However, many general-purpose vendors that buy and sell all kinds of goods are also available. Players can also hail at different ships and exchange their inventory with them.
Although countless vendor locations sell all sorts of resources and materials in Starfield, only a few have enough spare credits to buy items from you. This makes it difficult to sell all your valuable loot in one place. However, depending on your location and faction, you can use the above vendors to quickly make money from your collected loot without worrying about resting to reset the vendors.
Apart from the best vendors, there is much more to explore in the Starfield universe. For instance, you can read about mission walkthroughs like the Eye of the Storm, The Best There Is, and Surgical Strike. You can also read the guides on the best Starborn Armor, Crew Members, and ship parts to improve your playthroughs.
