Here, any of the vendors that you interact with within their Shops will allow you to sell them your gear. This will give you a set amount of money that can be use inside any Hogsmeade Shop to upgrade your gear further or to purchase items such as potions. This will be essential to your natural progression through the game. But how do you sell your items to vendors in Hogwarts Legacy? We have the answer here.

How to Sell Gear in Hogwarts Legacy

When you first visit Hogsmeade, you are invited to interact and browse the shops of the Vendors. However, some of these Vendors cannot be spoken to at this point. Such as when players visit the Gladrags Wizardwear Shop for the first time. The reason for this is because you must progress through the story before you can interact with these Vendors. Whilst other Vendors are available to speak to such as Tomes and Scrolls in order to sell your unwanted gear. You may wish to view other Vendor’s stock as each Vendor is unique in what they offer to sell.

You have the ability to sell your gear with any Vendor inside Hogsmeade. But it is with Gladrags Wizardwear where players have experienced some issues. If this is you, we have the solution. The problem rises when trying to interact with this Vendor where it appears that the interaction is locked.

If you are still experiencing issues with accessing the Vendor shops. That is if you cannot speak to the Vendor at all, try using ‘Square’ or ‘X’ as the interaction key. The should work to open the Shop page where you can sell your unwanted gear inside Gladrags Wizardwear.
