"Selling Stolen Goods in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: A Guide"

Stealing can be a tempting way to acquire valuable items and extra cash during your journey in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. However, it comes with serious risks. Stolen goods are marked in your inventory, making them nearly impossible to sell immediately, and getting caught with them can lead to arrest. Fortunately, there are reliable ways to offload stolen items and turn them into profit.

Selling Stolen Items in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The most straightforward method to sell stolen items is to stash them in your personal inventory chest and wait. After approximately one to two in-game weeks, the "stolen" status will disappear from the item, allowing you to sell it to any regular trader without issue.

Whenever you pickpocket a villager or loot a locked chest, the stolen items will carry a visible marker in your inventory. Most merchants will refuse these items outright. Worse, if a guard searches you and finds stolen goods, you’ll face arrest—unless you have enough coin to bribe your way out.

To avoid complications, store the stolen items in a secure chest and let time do the work. As in-game days pass, word of the theft fades, and the items can eventually be sold as normal.

You can also speed up the process by investing in specific perks. The Hustler and Partner in Crime perks, found in the Speech skill tree, allow you to sell stolen goods without hesitation from traders. Unlocking these early can save time and reduce risk.

Another option is to sell directly to a fence. If you're still in the early stages of the game, visit the Nomads’ Camp, where a fence operates and accepts stolen goods—though likely at a reduced price.

How Long Until You Can Sell Stolen Items?

The time required for the stolen mark to vanish depends on the item’s value. Higher-priced items remain flagged longer, sometimes requiring closer to two weeks or more of in-game time. Lower-value items may clear in just a few days. Plan your heists and sales accordingly.

And that’s how to successfully sell stolen items in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more in-depth guides, including romance paths and gameplay tips, be sure to visit The Escapist. [ttpp]
