Fence
From the OblivioWiki – your guide to everything Oblivion
Fences are the only NPC merchants who will buy stolen property. Stolen property is marked with a red hand over the icon in your inventory.
Selling through fences is necessary for any character who plans on selling any stolen items at all. To gain access to fences you must join the Thieves Guild, so if you plan to live a life of crime, join the Thieves Guild and don't forget who your fences are.
For each stolen item sold, you have "fenced" gold into the guild coffers. This is extremely important, as in order to progress in the Thieves Guild you must raise your fenced gold total to a certain value to receive the next quest. For example, to receive the final Thieves Guild quest, The Ultimate Heist, you must have fenced at least 1000 gold in total.
