make stolen furnishing items fencing restricted

kratier

the way some items you can only fence, but not sell , make it so for furnishing items so you can't accidentally sell it

Launder your items first, that way you can't lose them, then sell the ones you have left over. It isn't hard to avoid selling stuff you want to keep. Even if you launder something by mistake, you can still sell it.

I always Launder first.

Also, sort by price as most items you would want to keep are not 40, 100 or 250 Gold. Of course if you steal armor and weapons those are different prices and make this harder, but even then, they tend to group by value.

I do the same.

When I get to the fence I switch to Launder and go through each category of items checking for things I want to keep before I sell anything. Which works well since all the treasure items go into Miscellaneous, meaning I get to them last.

Oh, except I skip Materials, since that can easily use up all of my laundering slots for the day, but there's relatively few I really want. So I save them till last and sort through from the ones I have fewest of to the ones I have most.

(This did once cause the opposite problem - I laundered about 3 or 4 items I actually wanted to sell because I forgot to switch tabs, but that's better than selling something I wanted to keep, it just meant I lost a couple of hundred gold.)

Now, of course, once you get done laundering make sure you switch to Fence before you sell everything.

Yes, I have laundered and entire haul of Greens and Blues more than once.....Breaking even just irks me to no end.

I sold a couple things once thinking I was laundering. After that one time I always sell/launder by sub-category so there's no mistake.

It sucks, especially since there's no buyback, but it can be avoided.

If on PC use the add-on "Dustman". Takes a little bit to set up the filters just right but once you have it set it will auto launder the items you want and auto fence the ones you want. Also works for regular merchants so you can auto sell the junk.

Don't forget the Fence has a Furniture tab now. But yes, launder first, fence second.
