Farming goods and the locations

So in this post I'm going to try and make a list of all of the valuable trade goods in the game at present and give you a guide of what areas to find them in and how to offload your goods when you have got them.

So there's some items in game that when you first start off will seem like they are of little to no value and you may mistakenly sell them for much less than what they are worth.

All prices here are down to your own personal discretion and will change depending on the current supply and demand on each item.

So down to the items themselves and what they are traded for

Circuit board.
Damaged Hard-Drive.
Flash Drive.
Tushonka.
Energy saving Lamp.
Ultra-violet Lamp.
Half-masks.
Brown handled scav knives.
Tool set.
Gm count.
Gas filter.
Gas analysers.

Each of these items is used in either a quest of a trade for an item with value greater than the sum of its parts.

A large portion of these items are going to be found in filing cabinets and static dead scavs; GMcounts, gas filters, ES-Lamp and UV lamps are all spawns in cabinets and static dead scavs.

Locations of filing cabinets on factory and customs.

There are two cabinets on the third floor if offices in factory.

In customs there is a total of 9.
In two story dorms there are 3. Room 204 has a single cabinet, there is 2 cabinets in room 201.

In three story dorm there is one in room 117 and one in the admin office where the factory key spawns.

In the factory key shortcut there are 2 more cabinets.

There are multiple ways to sell your trade goods, the best ways I have found are as follows.

Www.reddit.com/r/TarkovTrading

This is a place to buy and sell goods, reading the stickied posts will help you learn how to avoid scams and report unfaithful traders. Prices on here are far from fixed and people may offer super low and ask super high prices but with patience you will generally be able to find a buyer for your items.

The unofficial EFT discord.

This has a link to reddit and a separate text based trade channel. High volume of traffic will help insure sales and the ability to report scam trades and issues with traders will help control bad trades.

Community based discords.

These are much tighter community spaces and will generally offer fair prices on goods but with a lower volume of players passing through sales may take slightly longer.

Klean Up Krew discord has a active trade forum.
Kotton has a discord with a trade channel.
