Where can I find ... , and sell ...
Im starting to run out of space, both on my hobo and the base. Can't upgrade the base since im missing items like tire and cinder blocks
This started out as a question, but instead leave it as a summary list of where to find and sell things

Edit: Added the answers so far
Is there a way to craft a dedicated storage box? -> private dump & storage box add +3 storage

Is there a type of container / area / shop / hobo where you can get:
cinder blocks -> sometimes maisner, or red/big container RNG
torn tires -> sometimes maisner, or red/big container RNG
crate -> hardware store, sometimes pawn shop, red/big container RNG
barrel -> sometimes pawn shop, reward from Ghaul
broken electronics like Headphones / Radio -> maisner, container RNG, stealing from resident buildings
herbs -> gypsi camp Vanga, orange dumpster
copper wire -> hardware store, dump raider garbage
dead animals -> pray to satan, industial container (the big open one, very rare),
or zachy's special dump piles
concert ticket -> steal from rich pedestrian

Where can I sell:
boxed wine/ bottled beer / bandaged / other kind of alcohol / meds / food? -> guzzler Jenkins downstairs behind train station
all kind of books / paper-> book store on bridge street (west side),
fabrics -> emka
copper / metals -> mr.kottler
construction materials -> baron
radios -> anatoly ( raises his patience again), (also Drax buys old radios but for less)
chicken bones -> Ghaul
old weapons -> Kashee
keyboard, headphones etc. -> pawn shop Anatoli more trust / pedestrians more cash
flashlight -> no direct buyer, but can be broken down and the result sold to monty
Teddy bears -> no buyer just decoration or for scrapping
raw meat -> Fester
Furniture -> Drax (buys only some scrap the unwanted rest)
soap ->?

Also is it possible to hide money in your base for not running around with all your cash while getting mugged again? -> git gud and bash muggers faces with good tools from hardware store or keep good spare cigs to counter them. Also wearing clothes with high defence value seems to repell them as well. They will mention that this might be a very expensive cigarette and leave you.

Craft private dump for +3 storage. If you find shopping trolley you can make storage for +3 again. You can have as many as you want,

You can build in every base site if you want also, but they all share the same storage box.

Dumpster diving to find all that stuff. Meisner sometimes sells some of those items.

You can't sell alcohol, guy in the bookstore will take books and also paper {not toilet paper hehe). Keep your chicken bones for Charles de Ghoul (you'll know who I mean when you meet him) the more bones the better.

Can't stash money. What you can do though is get training in the gym , buy a legendary weapon from the hardware store and beat those thugs and get their money.

Edit: I forgot - buy all the cabinet type furniture and upgrade it for extra storage,

Nice good tips, thanks for the info. I just now got the blueprint for the storage object that gives +3 storage.

I don't think so, so you should carry cigarettes on you (good or quality ones) at all times to buy the thugs off. In case you have to fight, the worst case scenario is an unlucky critical to drive your hp from ~30 to 0. (It happens even with end tier stuff...) In which case you have to buy back all your stuff. So don't hesitate to surrender if your hp drops too low.

There is a legit weapon dealer somewhere around Shrug (the clothing vendor). The bookstore is situated in a North-South street, South and not far from the church.

For the hardware store go to employment office next to the cop shop, there's an alley that goes straight to the store. It's a blue store front with a security grill over one of the windows.

For the book guy the street is Bridge St., you'll need the map from any tobacconist to see street names. It's on the west side of the street next to an appliance store.

The weapon guy is near Drax in The Pit but his weapons aren't the best.

Never found any use for the "dishes" (they're actually pots and pans but meh). Just break them down for resources at the crafting bench.

If that happened to you then you must have been very unlucky because thugs don't kill you they just beat you to a bloody pulp then leave w/o taking anything from you. I turn the tables on them and beat them 'till they surrender and hand over their money. Anywhere from 70 to 100 crowns. Big source of income for me. But yeah late game they can win more often so best to train with npc's as much as possible and wear the best defence gear.

You can sell alcohol to Jenkins. However, first, you have to do some quests for desolates.
Sirius Lee Apr 28, 2021 @ 9:27pm 
The dishes, you need one to make the campfire which is purely decorative, can't be used.

Didn't know about Jenkins buying booze, good to know.
Eddy63 Apr 28, 2021 @ 11:50pm 
Okay I found out for crate & barrel I guess one can check the pawn shop every now and then to buy.
Any idea about herbs? So far I have found some a few times in containers around Drax, any other way to get them besides RNG?

Wow awesome good to know. Funny how I have been so many times at langos but never noticed the gypsi selling herbs, its vanga next door though not yolanda.
Also I have passed bridge street so many times but never noticed the book store.
Thanks everyone, I have added your answers to the questions to help others in the future.

Jenkins buys booze meds and all kind of food

Cinder blocks and torn tires - sometimes Maisner sell them, but best sorce are big dumpsters, easy finding.
Broken electronics- same, but medium finding, also can be stolen from residential buildings
Save cash - you can't. I would advice to Have good cigs. It sometimes save you from beeing muged.
