Kingdom Come: Stolen Goods Market Uncovered

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, pilfering goods offers a tempting shortcut to wealth, but carries risks. Selling stolen items directly is problematic; most merchants refuse such transactions, and possession of stolen goods can lead to arrest. Here's how to navigate this:

The Patient Approach: The simplest method involves storing stolen items in your inventory chest. After approximately one to two in-game weeks, the "stolen" marker disappears, allowing you to sell them to any merchant NPC without issue. The more valuable the item, the longer this waiting period tends to be.

Perk Up Your Game: Investing in the "Hustler" and "Partner in Crime" perks (found under the Speech skill tree) eliminates the need for waiting. These perks enable you to sell stolen goods without penalty, making them a worthwhile investment.

The Fence Option: Early in the game, a fence can be located within the Nomads' Camp. Fences are willing to purchase stolen goods, offering an immediate, albeit potentially less lucrative, solution.

Avoiding Arrest: Remember, guards can inspect your inventory. Having stolen items on your person during such checks will result in arrest unless you can bribe your way out of trouble. Therefore, storing stolen goods is the safest practice until you can sell them legitimately or utilize the aforementioned perks.
