How To Sell At Flea Market in Escape from Tarkov?
When you are looking to sell an EFT item, you should select it in your stash and choose the item filter option. This will show you all the listings for the item you want to download. Here you can get an idea of the price, which works well if you want to get rid of a collection of screws at a competitive price. This can cause problems when trying to sell weapons, so you will have to make a judgment. The listings will show all offers for a weapon, regardless of its attachments. This means that an AKM with wooden furniture will appear on the same list as its fully equipped polymer body, covered with a red AKM backing dot.

Once you've decided, you can select to add offer at the flea market and choose your stash weapon. Then you must enter the price you want and choose the currency. Just be aware that a portion of that price will be immediately taken from the money in your stash as a fee for listing the item.

You will still have to pay a fee in rubles, but hopefully you will get the products you need to finally upgrade that generator in hiding. You can have up to three active listings on the market at the same time, but they can contain any number of an identical item. Time to get rid of those forty bandages that you no longer use.
