A Fence is a type of store featured in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online that purchase ill-gotten goods and sell special items to the player. Fences craft trinkets and talismans as well. Additionally, there are two specialty fences, in the form of the wagon fence (which pays for stolen wagons), and the horse fence (which pays for stolen horses).
Normal fences become available after free roam is unlocked following "Eastward Bound," and the wagon fence unlocks after completing "The Spines of America." The horse fence is unlocked after completing "Horse Flesh for Dinner."

Trivia[]
- There are no fences in West Elizabeth and the one in New Austin is only available in Red Dead Online.
- However, both the horse and wagon fences are unavailable in Online mode.
- Every time the player delivers a wagon to the fence their horse will be teleported next to the hitching post, even if it has been out of the whistling range.
- Seamus will always pay a sum of $15 for receiving a buggy, no matter the condition of it.
- Hilariously, Seamus will also buy wagons, and carriages that are still partially on fire, and have dead bodies in them. Due to the fact that he has no unique dialogue for this, and that the payment he gives doesn't usually go down, this is most likely due to a developer oversight, or a glitch.
- Oddly, a carriage, or wagon with a team of four horses is worth no more than a carriage, or wagon with just two.
- The Fence is the only shop in the game that can be visited by the player while they have equipped a mask or bandana.
- While playing as John, the player can buy new satchels at any fence instead of having to craft them, as the player loses access to Pearson in the epilogue. This way has the advantage to not require crafting materials.
