Escape From Tarkov Order To Sell To Traders
Escape From Tarkov Order To Sell To TradersThe current best order to sell your Tarkov loot to traders is:
Ragman > Jaeger > Therapist > Mechanic > Prapor > Skier > Peacekeeper
This order maximises your Roubles gained in the vast majority of cases and gives you a consistent process for selling your loot from raids. This Tarkov selling order should only be used for items you don’t intend to sell on the flea market either because they don’t have significant value, aren’t found in raid or don’t have access to the flea market yet.
Fence can be included at the end of this priority list as is only useful for players that want a single point of sale as Fence will purchase just about everything, including severely damaged armour although he doesn’t pay a fair sum in most instances.
The specialities of the above traders (in order) will be covered below which will help the advanced Tarkov player go directly to the ideal trader and saving additional time in the menus.
Ragman Trader Overview
Ragman Trader OverviewRagman is number one in the Escape From Tarkov who to sell to order for good reason as he pays a nice premium rate for the various armours, rigs, backpacks and accessory clothing items in Escape From Tarkov. If you find yourself being overwhelmed from your scav runs with random backpacks, low level armours and face/eye accessories you’ll want to sell them directly to Ragman.
Jaeger Trader Overview
Jaeger Trader OverviewPlaying the role of survivalist hunter in the Tarkov universe Jaegar has an interest in shotguns, bolt action rifles, melee weapons, hardware items and medical items (often paying equal to Therapist as you can see from the screenshots). For medical items in particular this means you’ll want to balance sells between Jaegar and Therapist based on the one that you need the most reputation with.
Therapist Trader Overview
Therapist Trader OverviewHistorically the Therapist was the go to trader in the order to sell priority as she purchased a large range of items and paid a premium for them from your stash. This has changed in recent times but she still is the best trader for medical, keys, barter and food sales which are often the most common items you’ll accumulate quickly. The high value of some keys to traders also means your non found in raid keys quickly build up your trader reputation.
Mechanic Trader Overview
Mechanic Trader OverviewA clear fan of guns based on his Gunsmith quest line Mechanic is a good place to sell any ammo, weapons and attachments that you can’t sell to Jaeger. While his price paid for weapons is second to none in Escape From Tarkov the differences between Mechanic, Prapor and Skier is often only a few thousand Roubles so you’ll want to balance between the three when going for money spent/bought reputation requirements and not raw Rouble value.
Prapor Trader Overview
Prapor Trader OverviewWhile Prapor does buy a reasonable range of items including medical, ammo, armour, weapons and attachments he is not your highest paying trader for any of these. That being said you may occasionally want to sell items to him you would usually give to Mechanic or Therapist in order to meet the trader money requirements as Prapor has a number of important weapon and modifications.
Skier Trader Overview
Skier offers little compared to your other traders when it comes to value for money, although he does sell Euros at trader level 2. Similar to Prapor he should never be your first trader to sell to but you’ll want to sell some of your weapons and attachments to him to help the trader level up process particularly for the few items that nobody else wants to buy.
Peacekeeper Trader Overview
Peacekeeper Trader OverviewRepresenting the UN is Peacekeeper who will give you $USD for your sales rather than Roubles and makes him unique compared to other traders in the sell priority list. Peacekeeper will purchase the odd weapon, helmet, ammunition and most importantly intelligence based items like the SSD, diaries and folders of intelligence (although these are better used in the hideout if not found in raid). He is good for any leftovers that you might have but given the ease of levelling his reputation through purchasing $USD from him which you need for certain quests he can easily be skipped.
Fence Trader Overview
Fence Trader OverviewThe leftover trader that also offers the most powerful Tarkov quest in the game. Fence is useful to quickly dump items when you are too rich to care about the optimal way to sell items in Tarkov or armour that is too damaged for Ragman (often 50% or less durability).
