Where to sell stuff

[standardtrickyness]

I'm like always laden with stuff and cannot find a place to sell it don't really want to keep dropping all the time

[𝕊𝕋𝕌ℝ𝕄-𝕂𝔸𝕋]

merchants.

[Helrato]

Blacksmiths in towns and cities, alchemists. General store shops, court wizards, khajiit caravans and plenty more

Pretty much any town or city, talk to vendors and stuff and yeah.

Poultry vendors and bars will usually have little money so best not sell to them

Normally, in Whiterun, I go to both Blacksmihs, Belethors. Also the Drunken Huntsman, Surprisingly for an inn, he has a decent amount of cash to buy my junk.

It's when I go to Solitude, I am surprised that there are fewer merchants owning shops there. Only Radiant Raimant, Bits & Pieces and the Blacksmith are really worth selling to. I would have thought the capital city would have had a lot more.

If you can get the speechcraft perk to sell anything to any vendor, you can then sell clothing, armour and weapons to the alchemists as well.

However, it's not the best policy to grab everything you can, you end up very rich very early in the game. I pick and choose and still had half a million gold and more gems than I know what to do with by the time I got halfway though the game. That's leaving behind any mage clothing, armour lower than Dwarven and weapons lower than Ebony.

The only reason I started picking up Ancient Nord weapons and iron weapons is that I have the mod to deconstruct them at the forge back to Corundum and Iron respectively. That helps for house building when Corundum is hard to come by and you're always running out of iron fittings etc.

Early on mage clothing is good to loot as it's light weight and decent value, and sell at Belethor's. I do most of my trading in Whiterun. Also once further into the game when you're rolling in gold you can just purchase any material you need from the blacksmith.

All over Skyrim, there are merchants, blacksmits, traders, you name it. Start traveling and selling staff.

Get the Ebonvale mod and Rich merchants, it will give you 6 merchants to buy most of your stuff, also a really expensive manor house you can buy to get rid of some gold (comes with a bunch of bad guys too).

I have over 2 million 5 hundred thousand gold and im only at level 64 what got my gold count up quick was becoming theives guild master which allows stolen goods to be sold to fences of the theives guild that have 5000 gold on them to sell to and getting all 24 stones of barenziah for the crown which gives you the prowlers perk which puts more gold and gems in treasure chests across skyrim very easy money to be made there and I also leveled my alchemy and smithing to 100 to sell lots of assorted potions and armors that I make . I also take almost everything from those I have killed during my skyrim travels

You can also sell your stuff to Kajits caravans. Also in Stormcloacks or in Emperial camps to their blacksmiths

[Zsrai]

If you have so much stuff, and a high speech skill, that you can't offload it all because merchants run out of gold, you can always abuse the quick save -> punch merchant -> quick load method of shop inventory reset. You shouldn't really need that unless you are grinding enchanting or alchemy and trying to offload everything at once though.

[Docsprock]

There are 113 merchants in Skyrim. Plus a handful of roaming merchants.

How to get Ebonvale mod for special editition version I go the the page http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=165391401&insideModal=0&requirelogin=1
and I can't find the download button
Also everyone else where can I find merchants with money?
I guess I'm too used to selling everything in other games since so many people say dropping is fine.

Vanilla:

Smiths ofc because you want to buy ingots to lvl up smithing + You sell stuff for 3000+ instead 1000 = Trade loot you find for ingots.

Rest you sell for general good store until you get level 50 speech and can sell anywhere.


Mods:

Depends how easy you want to make this game. Personally I rather go hardway than easyway.

This game is allready so easy I would try to look mods that make it harder. Example in my opinion smithing+enchanting should be both nerfed as much as possible because they're broken.

[lupus_hegemonia]

Gee... I have the same damn problem.
I have about 200,000 gold and can't find a way to spend them. I bought all houses, I'm building a couple more (to areas with estates only to buy), I'm spending all gold I can for training (even on skills I don't use)...
...but still I have a lot gold.

I even stopped looting any more! I'm just taking VERY RARE stuff, not good vanilla (or "Immersive Armors") armors/weapons (costing 400+ gold). I'm just looting stuff now, over 1600 gold cost...

...And still, can't spend the damn gold. They SHOULD HAVE PORTED some interesting Economy mods they had in "Oldrim".

[DrNewcenstein]

There aren't many "rich" merchants in Skyrim. To my knowledge, there has only ever been one Merchant in an Elder Scrolls game who came with 5K out of the box, and that was the guy in Oblivion's Vile Lair DLC from whom you buy all the stuff to decorate the joint.

Before they broke it with a patch, Riverwood Trader had 10K gold at some point.

As for what to spend money on, buy out shop inventories if it matters that much to you, or maybe on your next playthrough try a bit harder not to rake in the gold so early. Don't loot the corpses in Meridia's temple, don't hit every urn, and don't make potions or smith items or enchant iron daggers to sell, unless you set yourself a limit for a specific purchase, like the 39K gold it takes to get Proudspire and all the trimmings.
