Red Dead Redemption 2 Fences are special shops that offer special items and are willing to buy stolen goods. You can sell any stolen good like Gold Bars, Stage Coaches, Jewelry and anything that a regular merchant won’t purchase.
These fences can also craft you special trinkets and talismans. They have a wide range of items to sell as well, like masks to hide your identity and special crafting recipes for Arthur.
Fences are unlocked after The Spines of America mission during Chapter 2.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Fences
You can also buy a multitude of items from RDR2 Fences. The majority of these highly valuable items will have certain requirements to unlock them. There are four of these regular fences
Saint-Denis Fence – It will be found in the market east of the city. It is not in some untoward makeshift building so we can safely say it is the most successful and trustworthy fence in RDR2. This lad owns the shop and completes the evil green mask from Undead Nightmare on the shelf behind his counter.
Emerald Ranch Fence – During the game’s main storyline, Arthur will be acquainted with this fence. You will find Seamus in a makeshift on the right side of the big red barn at Emerald Ranch.
Rhodes Fence – At the outskirts of Rhodes, you will find this fence working out of a rusty red shack. This will be situated in the caravan park that Josiah Trelawny goes missing from in the chapter 3 mission ‘Magicians for sport’, if you are following the storyline.
Van Horn Fence – That Seamus from Emerald Ranch fence also has a side job and works as a stolen wagon and stagecoach salesman. You will get to this fence when you pass the chapter 2 mission ‘The Spines of America’ to deliver your first wagon to him and kick off this lucrative racket.
In addition to regular fences, you also unlock two special services: wagon fence and horse fence.
Wagon Fence – This fence is located at Emerald Ranch. When you drive a stolen wagon or coach, you can take it to this fence. You will be rewarded for the stolen wagon in cash.
Horse Fence – This fence works similar to the Wagon Fence, only it accepts illegally acquired mounts instead of wagons. This fence is unlocked north of Clemens Point after you complete the “Horse Flesh for Dinner” mission in Chapter 3.
