If you're hauling around piles of rare loot and enchanted gear in Oblivion Remastered, you might be wondering — where the heck do I sell this for the most gold?
Good news: in 2025, Oblivion's remaster keeps the classic merchant system mostly intact, so smart players can still cash in big if they know where to go!
Here’s your guide to the best cities and top merchants for selling high-value gear and making some serious gold in Oblivion Remastered.
Best Cities for Selling Your Loot
Not all towns are created equal when it comes to unloading your gear. Here's where you should head first:
Imperial City
-
Market District is your best bet early and late game.
-
Tons of shops for weapons, armor, magic, and general goods.
-
Easy fast travel access from anywhere.

Top Merchants to Sell High-Value Gear To
Selling to the right person makes a HUGE difference — especially when merchant gold caps come into play.
Here’s who you should prioritize:
| Merchant | Location | Why Sell Here? |
|---|---|---|
| Aurelinwae | Mystic Emporium (DLC) | Up to 2000+ gold available if invested. |
| Nilphas Omellian | Battlehorn Castle (DLC) | Perfect for Fighter’s Stronghold players. |
| Varel Morvayn | Morvayn’s Peacemakers (Anvil) | Reliable for armor sales. |
| Rowley Eardwulf | Wawnet Inn (Vile Lair DLC) | Hidden merchant for rare loot. |
| Ongar the World-Weary | Bruma | Early-game fence for stolen goods. |
Pro tip:
If you have the Thieves Guild fences unlocked, selling stolen loot is way easier. Fences like Ongar, Dar Jee, and Fathis Ules are essential for big heists.
