Is there any place where I could safely leave some inventory items for use later in some town in BGEE? It would help to clear my inventory. Thanks , Gorris

The Carnival east of Nashkel becomes my selling, identifying and if needed, resting spot. I do this in the event an item is being looked for by an NPC I come across, and won't have to bounce around looking for it. Anything that won't be purchased by a shop, is dumped into a container in the above mentioned location, or the one below.
Once I migrate to Baldur's Gate during the final leg of my journey, do I use the Elfsong Inn as storage.
It's a funny thing, containers. My first ever play of Baldur's Gate, the locations and what I did above, has always stuck. I don't put my gear anywhere else, even though there are plenty of containers I could. Even if I try to play differently with new party compositions, the container locations never change. xD
Also, I think it might have to do with the music too! I love the track which plays at the Carnival, and always found myself returning there just to listen to it when I first played the game.
I'm a lot like Sylvus - my first few playthroughs when I was a kid I usually used the upstairs of Feldposts as a storage house - since it's fairly centrally located and is a decent spot to sell vendor trash (gems and other assorted stuff) and rest - and I stuck with that for ages.
I know quite a few people like storing stuff in the house next to High Hedge because Thalyntyr is one of the best vendors in the whole game so you visit him fairly regularly, and he'll buy almost anything.
But my favorite spot is the chest in Joia's house in the Friendly Arm. Mainly because it's a super short distance from the Southern loading screen, and it becomes available almost immediately (assuming you do her quest). Then, once you make it to BG, the FAI is still rather close to BG itself so it's not too much trouble to bounce back and forth.
Thankfully, with all the new containers added to the game, storage is a lot less of a hassle and mostly comes down to odds and ends (books, scrolls, quest items) etc. Back in the day it was a lot more essential because you'd need to store TONS of potions and protection scrolls somewhere for later lol.
She's having an affair with Bentley Mirrorshade.
His wife found religion and spends all her time at the temple and doesn't understand him anymore.
She's upset her husband ran out without even putting his boots on and left her to the spiders.
From comments people have made in this forum over the years, I suspect that these two locations are the most popular choices.
I have one (bag31) modded into Thalantyr's store. With its 10,000 gp base price, I have to be a little more careful with spending gold early in the game, but its 2000 item capacity spares me a lot of the headache with inventory management throughout BGEE. It's also great for preventing dead enemies' equipment from cluttering up the landscape.
