Game Mechanics

Junk Dealers can be found in most major NPC cities. There are 4 different types of junk dealers:

  • A buyer of odds and ends
  • A buyer of clothes and jewelry
  • A buyer of weapons
  • Specialty

All four types of Junk Dealers will only buy looted items, no player-made, quest rewards or quest related items items can be sold to them.



The first kind of Junk Dealer, odds and ends, will buy a wide variety of items. Examples of items that can be sold to the odds and end dealers are “Broken” items that include Broken Hand-Held Viewscreens, Broken, Datapads, Broken Meson Telescopes, Broken Binoculars, etc. They will also buy Datadisk Message Fragments. Generally speaking, they buy all items that are not quest related, quest reward, player crafted, weapons, no trade, armor or clothing.

The second kind of Junk Dealer buys clothing, armor and jewelry. These npcs will only buy looted clothing, armor and jewelry that aren't set to no trade.


The third Junk Dealer buys all manner of looted weapons. There are a few types of items that they won’t buy:

  • Weapons taken from a container in a dungeon
  • Quest rewards
  • Quest Related Items


When a player has an item that a junk dealer might be interested in buying, the player will see a new dialogue option open up on the npc's dialogue menu. Clicking this will open up the dealer's trade window that will list all of the player's items that the dealer will purchase. The player then selects an item on the list and clicks either the sell or sell all button. Sell will sell the selected item only where sell all will sell every item on the list. Junk dealers will only check items in the player's top level inventory (their primary inventory not backpack). (Note: this was seen as a bug or at the least a serious inconvenience to players in selling their excess loot).
