Fences are, without a doubt, the best merchants to sell to in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Even if players don't steal everything they can and don't put any perks into the Speech tree, they can take advantage of the fact that fences always accept any item (including stolen items) and can have up to 4,000 gold on hand to purchase whatever players want to sell. The fact that fences also have some good items to sell and always stock lockpicks is a bonus.
