Tarkov Selling Guide – What To Sell & Trader Order

Last Updated on August 8, 2026 by Samuel Franklin

Understanding the ideal trader sell order and what to sell to each trader will significantly boost your Roubles gained. This selling guide will help you navigate the different traders, the alternative Flea Market option and sorting through the hundreds of lootable items which is a daunting task for both new and experienced Tarkov players.

I recommend a sell order of Ragman, Jaeger, Therapist, Mechanic, Prapor, Skier and Peacekeeper. From August 2026 (Tarkov Season 1) reaching certain transaction thresholds with traders is no longer required for trader levels so this order will maximise Rouble gain.

Tarkov Trader Sell Order & What To Sell Summary

The current best order to sell your Tarkov loot is:

Ragman > Jaeger > Therapist > Mechanic > Prapor > Skier > Peacekeeper > Fence

This order maximises your Roubles gained in the majority of situations and gives you a consistently quick process for selling loot that doesn’t have Flea Market value. Fence is included at the end as he purchases everything (including damaged armour or weapons) but pays less. Fence is a convenient point of sale for everything though if you want the fastest post raid option and don’t mind sacrificing overall Roubles gained.

What To Sell To Ragman

Ragman pays the best price for clothing themed items provided they have the majority of their durability and is the best trader for armours, rigs, backpacks and accessory clothing items (eye and face).

What To Sell To Jaeger

Jaegar has an interest in shotguns, bolt action rifles, melee weapons, building materials and medical items. He pays equal or slightly less than Therapist for medical items so players can select between these as he usually pays equal or higher to other traders.

What To Sell To Therapist

Therapist is the best trader for medical, keys, barter items, dogtags and food items which players will accumulate rapidly from raids making her a commonly used trader.

What To Sell To Mechanic

Mechanic is the best place to sell any ammo, weapons and attachments that you can’t sell to Jaeger.

What To Sell To Prapor

Prapor purchases a broad range of items including medical, ammo, armour, weapons and attachments.

What To Sell To Skier

The best items to sell to Skier are weapons, magazines and weapon attachments although Mechanic or Prapor pay slightly more for these.

What To Sell To Peacekeeper

Peacekeeper is a $USD based trader (buy and sell) and will purchase some weapons, armours, ammunition and intelligence based items like the SSD, diaries and secure flash drives.

What To Sell To Fence

The leftover trader that will purchase every single item in the game including damaged armour and weapons that other traders will not accept. Fence pays notably less than other traders for items though even when you factor in the repair costs you would spend to make them purchasable by other traders. Despite this Fence can still be useful for players that want a quick place to dump their excess items and don’t mind losing some Roubles for the convenience of not having to visit each trader.
