Are the items RED? I don't steal much in ESO and I've never tried to sell stolen items. I assume you pilfered them. In that case, you'll need to sell them to a fence or launder them. Here is a guide!

Hmmm, I found a staff and when I picked it up, it said value 15? So I assume I can sell it for 15 no??
Also does destroying items give you anything?

Dunno...that staff will yield mats if it has a value. No matter what it will give a little xp. But I don't know why it would say its worth 15 and then drop to 0. Perhaps this is to do with character level? I will have to find out more.

Thanks guys, everything I have either shows up 0 or 2 for value, that ranges from consumables to weapons and armour, nothing I have is stolen. It's the same for two of my buddies as well???

Same goes for me. If it shows value when I pick it up or look at it in my inventory, it sells for 0.

There have only been a few items of value that actually sold for said value, and those were quest items.

Sounds like a UI error. If it has a value when you pick it up, whether or not it is stolen, it should retain that value. Try telling it and watch the amount of gold you have in your inventory and see if the amount is applied even though it says 0 in the vendor inventory.

I remember there had been a UI bug like this a couple of months after the PC version was released last year.

I do know on PC the white value items you pick up in the environment are valued at 0 as well as a few white value items from containers. It is possible that these are the items OP is trying to sell, but the UI is giving them a value when it should not.

Some white loot from containers (e.g. armour, weapons, jewellery) has 0 value. This was put in, I guess, to prevent gold farming by simply looting every container and selling the loot, especially when looting had no consequences before the Justice System was implemented.

There are a few green/blue weapons, armour and rings/necklaces in containers that do have value. Some other materials may or may not be sold for gold. In any case, looting is only a good way to make gold if you go for purple and gold items (recipes and motifs that can be sold for a few k to about 30k gold on PC) or green/blue/purple items from the Justice System (green are worth 100 each, blue are 250 and purple are 750, though extremely rare) that you can sell to fences in Outlaws Refuges.

Other than selling loot, you can use it to craft (food, drinks, gear, etc.) or deconstruct in order to level up your crafting and obtain more crafting materials.

The reason a lot of these items have a value of 0 is because of bottling.

Gold sellers would have bots teleporting around the world collecting these items and then selling them.

Remove the profit = remove the bots.

Hmmm, well everytime I deconstruct/ destroy an item, my skill hasn't increased? When I put an enchantment on a weapon/gear my enchantment don't increase, or is that on a enchantment table?

I was hoping from this game, everything like skyrim but online lol

Applying an enchant to a weapon doesn't increase your enchanting skill. Creating and deconstructing glyphs does (just like with the other crafts).

Now the fastest way to level a craft is to deconstruct items made by another character. So if you can find another player that wants to level, you can "leapfrog" by making stuff for the other to deconstruct.

Items that are worthless will be sold for 0 like wheat, flour, free shields off racks that aren't stolen, weapons etc. These items will not improve your crafting either. Items from enemies, quests etc those will improve that skill line etc. Keep in mind however, this isn't skyrim online. There's going to be more of an mmo structure to it.

Armor or Weapons from Armorrack or Weaponrack does not have a value and doesnt increes you inspiration when distructed

False and false - armor and weapon stolen from instanced shops both from racks and not has value and increes your insiration. But only from shops that you need to enter afaik.

i dont speak from stolen items lol, speak from this in the wrold where you dont get bauntry

Thanks for all the advise and comments guys, still trying to work it all out lol a lot more in depth than previous elder scrolls, gonna jump on now and see if I can progress any further lol

Well I been finding greatswords and shields and when i go to a merchant it is all 0? Better of dismantling them all instead of selling them in that case.....
