Stealing can be a tempting way to gather items and money during your adventures in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. However, it comes with its own set of challenges. Not only is it difficult to sell stolen goods, but getting caught can land you in serious trouble. Here’s a detailed guide on how to sell stolen items in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Selling Stolen Items in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The most straightforward method to sell stolen items in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 involves storing them in an inventory chest. After waiting one to two in-game weeks, the "stolen" mark beside the item will vanish, allowing you to sell it to any trader NPC without issues.

When you acquire items through lockpicking chests or pickpocketing, they are tagged as stolen in your inventory. Most traders will outright refuse to buy these marked items. Furthermore, if you're stopped by a guard and they search your inventory, carrying stolen goods can lead to your arrest—unless you can bribe your way out of trouble.

To circumvent these problems, the best strategy is to store the stolen items in a chest and wait out the period until they're no longer flagged. Once the stolen mark disappears, you can sell them as if they were legitimately acquired.

For those looking to expedite the process, consider unlocking specific perks. The Hustler and Partner in Crime perks, found under the Speech category, will enable you to sell stolen items without any hassle. These perks are definitely worth pursuing early in your gameplay.

Alternatively, if you need to sell stolen items immediately, you can seek out a fence. Early in the game, you can find one at the Nomads’ Camp.

How Long Until You Can Sell Stolen Items

The duration it takes for a stolen item to lose its "stolen" status depends on its value. More expensive items take longer for the stolen mark to disappear. Plan your waiting periods accordingly to maximize your gains.
