You can\u2019t avoid committing crimes in an Elder Scrolls game<\/a>, it\u2019s sometimes required to pickpocket or steal items for a side quest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also certain items you can\u2019t buy from shops that need to be stolen, while some are just too expensive. But for the most part, stealing is just fun to do. There\u2019s nothing more addicting than the adrenaline rush you get sneaking around people and running away once you get caught<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you do get away with it, you could end up with something valuable. There are two things you can do with your prized possessions: you can either display them in your house or sell them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selling them isn\u2019t actually easy as merchants don\u2019t like buying stolen goods from people. However, there are ways to sell them in Skyrim<\/a>. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, can you sell stolen items in Skyrim?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"sell<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yes. Fences are willing to buy stolen goods, but you can also convince other merchants to purchase from you if you\u2019ve heavily invested in Speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latter is much more strenuous as you need to reach level 90 Speech to get the Fence perk. Levelling up your speech can be done by selling expensive (non-stolen) goods, as well as bribing or persuading NPCS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The easiest way to sell stolen items is by selling them to a fence, but in order to do that, you\u2019ll need to join the Thieves Guild. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to join The Thieves Guild in Skyrim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve already gone as far as stealing, then you\u2019ll fit right in. Go straight to Riften and find Brynjolf, who can be found in the market in the morning or at the Bee and Barb tavern at night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry, he\u2019ll approach you immediately and talk to you when you\u2019re nearby. If you\u2019ve managed to avoid the \u201ctoll fee\u201d requested by the Riften guard earlier, Brynjolf will compliment you. Keep the conversation going and he\u2019ll give you a task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first task he gives you is simple, he will ask you to go to the market and steal Madesi\u2019s ring while he provides a speech. While everyone is distracted, you\u2019ll have to plant the silver ring in Brand-Shei\u2019s pocket, framing him as the thief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be quick, go to Madesi\u2019s stall which is the third stall to the left. Lockpick the strongbox and take the ring. Return to the first stall and hide behind the wooden crates where Brand-Shei is sitting, pickpocket him and drop Madesi\u2019s Silver Ring in his inventory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you made it in time, Brynjolf would pay you 100 gold and open up about his organization going through some bad luck. Ask him about it and he\u2019ll offer you a place in it, accept it and he\u2019ll give you another test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you didn\u2019t succeed with the first, Brynjolf will still be kind enough to give you another chance. To get to the Thieves Guild, you\u2019ll have to go through a sewer called The Ratway to get to the Ragged Flagon tavern, where their headquarters is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s located underneath the market, go downstairs and you\u2019ll find a door that leads you to The Ratway.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019re inside the sewers, you\u2019ll have to fight your way through a lot of unfriendly bandits, an orc, and a ghost. When you reach an area with a table right after the ghost, then you know you\u2019re in the right place. Enter the door past that area and you\u2019re now in Ragged Flagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talk to Brynjolf again and he\u2019ll give you one more task (\u201cTaking Care of Business\u201d) before you officially join the Thieves Guild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quest requires you to hunt down three people who owe Bynjolf gold. You can find Bersi Honey-Hand in the Prawned Pawn, Keerava in Bee and Barb, and Haelga in Haelga\u2019s Bunkhouse. It\u2019s up to you how you get the gold from them, but you must give them to Brynjolf to join the Thieves Guild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you\u2019re in Thieves Guild, you can talk to Tonilia the Fence. There are also 7 other Fences in the game where you can sell your stolen items, but they require you to finish some tasks to prove that you are trustworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first set of Fences you can unlock early on in the game are Mallus Maccius, Gulum-Ei, and Enthir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
