If you’ve been a bit naughty and got hold of contraband, or stolen some items in Starfield, there’s a great place to sell them without the risk of going to jail.
Whether you’re a weathered space pirate or a squeaky-clean UC Vanguard captain in Starfield, you’ve probably come across contraband or stolen goods. Here are the best places to sell them.
Starfield is a huge game, and in true Bethesda style, this means there’s a lot of junk you’re able to pick up, wherever you go (unless it’s a barren lifeless planet). As you’re exploring various locations, you’ll come across items which have either a yellow or red symbol in their descriptions, this indicates that the items are either contraband (yellow symbol) or stolen items (red symbol).
Contraband items are illegal in Starfield, and if you attempt to smuggle contraband onto a planet which contains one of the game’s major cities such as Jemison (New Atlantis), Volii Alpha (Neon) or Akila (Akila City), your ship will be scanned for contraband (but the scan can’t detect stolen items). If you’re caught with contraband in your cargo, not only will these items be confiscated but your stolen items will be too.
Luckily, there’s a particular place in Starfield where you can sell your contraband and stolen items without being scanned first, which can help you save towards building an outpost or buying a new ship from a shipyard, without resorting to the infinite money glitch. Here’s where to find it.
