Here are the two I recommend buying to start

To find out what other players have for sale, use Poe.trade. This tool, built into Path of Exile's website, let's you search through items that other players have marked for sale.

Here's a quick rundown of how this process works:

Use Poe.trade to find an item you're interested in.Click the 'whisper' button next to the seller's name.This copies a string of text you can then paste into the in-game chat window to automatically message a player saying you want to POE currency trade  buy the item.Assuming that player is online, they'll message you back and typically invite you to their hideout to trade.Make sure to bring the currency with you in your inventory.At their hideout, complete the trade.

The below image shows where the whisper button is, since it's hard to find.

This is a little bit trickier and will require you to also spend a little bit of money. In order to list items for sale and make them appear on Poe.trade, you need to have a premium stash tab. The chest found in every main hub and your hideout is your stash, and it normally comes with just four basic tabs (think of them like pages) for you to store loot in.

Premium tabs have a few extra features:

They can be renamed.They can be colored (for easy organization).They can be set 'public' so that websites like Poe.trade can index the items stored there so it'll show up in search results and other players can buy it from you.

Don't worry, though, making a tab public doesn't mean anyone can come and take your items.

The video below is also an excellent guide to trading by YouTuber Engineering Eternity.

In Path of Exile's microtransaction shop, you'll find a category for stash tabs that offers a bunch of different tabs that suit various purposes. Some have special layouts for organizing your crafting items, maps, or other unique types of loot you might find. If you play Path of Exile seriously, it's worth investing in a few of these tabs.

Here are the two I recommend buying to start:

Premium stash tab upgrade (15p) - This upgrades one of your regular stash tabs to a premium one.Currency stash tab (75p) - This adds a new tab with a special layout for storing different currencies. It's super helpful to have.

With your new premium tab, you can now right click it to set its color and also set it to public. You have two options for how to sell items:

Set it so every item in the premium tab sells for the same priceSet it so each item is priced individually

For now, you'll probably want to individually price your items since you only have one premium tab and the value of loot can vary wildly.

When you drop any gear into this premium tab, you can right click it and set its price, choosing how many of a certain type of crafting resource you want someone to pay for it. Then, assuming it's priced reasonably and is an item people actually want, other players will soon start messaging you.

What are the best items to sell in Path of Exile?

I could give a whole seminar on what items are worth selling to other players and which ones are worth dumping at an NPC vendor POE orbs for sale . There is no simple answer to this and items value can change wildly over the course of a patch. But there are some simple steps you can take to find out if an item might be worth some money.

Since Poe.trade lists all other people trying to sell that item, the first thing you can do is search for similar items to yours and see how much of a price they fetch. This works particularly well with Unique items (the ones with the brown names). But it's also important to remember that even two Uniques can have a wildly different value depending on the layout and color of their sockets and their overall item level. For example, if you find a Unique at level 13, it'll be vastly weaker than the same Unique found by someone who is level 80.

If your search doesn't return any results, cast a wider net before giving up. Use the advanced search to filter by the item's base type and pick a wider range of item levels to see other items that are similar but not exactly the same.
