Nearly every item acquired in NieR: Automata can be sold to vendors for credits. While selling machine parts provides a simple income stream, many items serve additional purposes, and selling them might inadvertently hinder your progress.

Certain items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making some sales unprofitable. This guide highlights the most valuable items to sell and suggests optimal credit usage.

The key indicator for sellable items is the in-game description: "Can be exchanged for money." While all items are technically sellable, this designation signifies not only a high sale value but also a lack of alternative uses. Examples include:

• Fish and junk acquired through fishing.
• Jewelry
• Masks
• Animal meat

Many other items, while seemingly inconsequential, serve as upgrade components for weapons and pods. Given the game's abundance of weapons, prioritizing upgrades over selling valuable materials ensures efficient progression. Avoid selling potential upgrade materials to prevent future farming.
