Managing your inventory in Red Dead Redemption 2 is essential to making money and keeping Arthur Morgan well-equipped for his journey. While some items are useful for crafting or survival, many are best sold to vendors who specialize in different types of goods. This guide will show you where to sell your items, whether they’re general supplies, valuables, stolen goods, or animal pelts.

1. Sell Common Items at General Stores

Every town in Red Dead Redemption 2 has a General Store, marked on your map with a bag icon. These stores buy common goods and provisions, making them an easy place to offload extra supplies.

How to Sell at a General Store:

  1. Enter the store and talk to the shopkeeper.
  2. Select the option to sell items by pressing right on the D-Pad.
  3. Browse your satchel and choose what you want to sell.

Items You Can Sell at General Stores:

  • Tonics (Health, Stamina, and Dead Eye restoratives)
  • Food items (Canned goods, fresh produce, and other consumables)
  • Cigarettes (Can also be collected for premium card sets)
  • Alcohol (Whiskey, rum, and other drinks)

2. Sell Stolen Goods and Valuables to a Fence

A Fence will buy items you steal from people.

If you have stolen jewelry, pocket watches, or gold bars, you cannot sell them at General Stores. Instead, you need to find a Fence, a merchant who deals in stolen goods and rare items.

How to Unlock the Fence:

The first Fence, Seamus, is unlocked in Chapter 2 after completing the mission “The Spines of America.” Once unlocked, you can sell valuables and buy special items such as recipes, saddles, and explosives.

Fence Locations:

  • Emerald Ranch (First accessible Fence)
  • Saint Denis (Largest variety of goods)
  • Rhodes (Smaller town in Lemoyne)
  • Van Horn Trading Post (Eastern New Hanover)

Items You Can Sell to a Fence:

Gold bars are worth $500 each, making them one of the best ways to make money quickly.

3. Sell Animal Pelts and Materials to the Trapper

The Trapper.
The Trapper will buy all of your animal materials.

If you hunt animals in Red Dead Redemption 2, you will collect pelts, meat, and other materials. While some of these can be sold at General Stores or donated to camp, the Trapper is the best place to sell high-quality pelts and craft Legendary Animal outfits.

Where to Find the Trapper:

  • East of Riggs Station (The closest location to the game’s start)
  • West of Elysian Pool
  • Saint Denis (The most convenient location)

Items You Can Sell to the Trapper:

  • Animal pelts (Used to craft clothing and accessories)
  • Meat (Can also be cooked at camp)
  • Feathers (Used in crafting arrows)
  • Antlers, claws, and fat (Used in crafting and selling)

The Trapper allows you to craft unique outfits using pelts from Legendary Animals. Be sure to check out our Legendary Animal locations guide and Legendary Animal outfits guide to get the best gear.

4. Donate Items to Your Camp for Funds

Any items you can’t sell to the General Store or the Trapper can be donated to the camp.

If you want to contribute to the gang’s camp, you can donate valuables at the camp donation box to improve supplies and unlock upgrades.

How to Donate Items to Camp:

  1. Go to the ledger near the donation box.
  2. Select “Give Item” to donate valuables.
  3. Your donation increases camp funds, allowing you to purchase upgrades.

Items You Can Donate:

  • Jewelry such as rings, watches, and necklaces
  • Valuable items like gold bars and special trinkets
  • Pelts and meat for crafting and food supply

Donating helps upgrade the camp’s amenities, making life easier for you and the gang.

Knowing where to sell your items in Red Dead Redemption 2 is key to managing your inventory and making the most money. Whether you’re selling supplies to a General Store, offloading valuables at a Fence, trading pelts at the Trapper, or supporting your camp, each vendor plays a crucial role in the game’s economy.
