Here are 10 of the best items to sell at your local trader in no particular order.

Keep in mind; prices will vary depending on the quality of the item, your level of the Better Barter perk, and any items you have to increase barter, i.e. Cigar. Also, don’t forget to repair items before selling and add any extra mods you don’t need.
