How to sell stolen items in Oblivion Remastered

by

If you’re struggling to keep your hands off items in Cyrodiil and are curious about selling items in Oblivion Remastered, here’s a hint: Becoming a thief can be quite profitable as you journey through the wilderness, but be aware that most merchants are reluctant to handle stolen goods. It seems they prefer their wares to be on the up-and-up.

In the game The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, any object bearing a red mark is deemed possessed. Should you take it, whether by mistake or intentionally, and an NPC observes, you risk upsetting the owner or attracting the attention of the local authorities. However, if your mission is successful, understanding how to sell pilfered items could earn you some gold. I’ll guide you through that process and more, as there’s a lot more to the thieving lifestyle in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered than just joining the Thieves Guild.

Oblivion Remastered: How to sell stolen items

In Oblivion Remastered, the most effective method for disposing of ill-gotten goods is by locating a fence – these are merchants who have a knack for dealing with items that aren’t quite legitimate. The simplest approach to getting rid of stolen items is to familiarize yourself with the Thieves Guild in Oblivion Remastered, which will set you on a criminal path through Cyrodiil.

After mastering lockpicking within Oblivion Remastered and becoming a member of the Thieves Guild, start peddling your pilfered items to Ongar the Jaded, who can be found in Bruma. You’ll often find him at Olav’s Tap and Tack or in his residence, south of the main church. If you desire a higher purchase limit, continue completing quests for the Thieves Guild as this will open up more options to sell your loot in various major cities.

To follow up on the fences available in Oblivion Remastered, make your way to Armand Christophe. Return to the spot where you accomplished the initial Thieves Guild entrance test in the Imperial City Waterfront at midnight, and opt for the “Thieves Guild Information” conversation choice. This interaction will trigger Armand to share a comprehensive list of all the fences in Oblivion.

Oblivion Remastered: How to sell stolen items without joining the Thieves Guild

As an enthusiast, I’ve discovered some methods to offload pilfered goods in Oblivion Remastered without getting entangled in the Thieves Guild, though the choices are somewhat scarce. One such avenue is a shady character you can stumble upon along the route connecting Imperial City and Bravil; the proprietor of the Inn of Ill Omen is this individual, and he appears more than willing to acquire your ill-gotten treasures. However, it’s important to note that Manheim Maulhand only has a set limit for his gold purchases, which sadly maxes out at 50 Gold.

Besides these methods, there are other strategies to peddle pilfered goods across all editions of Oblivion. Initially, if you have swiped an uncharmed weapon or armor, you can empower it with enchantments on your own, thus eliminating its stolen label and enabling you to effortlessly dispose of it. If your intention is to sell pilfered alchemy components or food, simply concoct a potion; the fact that the basic elements were initially taken will go unnoticed by any unsuspecting merchants in the game world.
