Nearly every item acquired in NieR: Automata can be sold to vendors for credits. While selling machine parts provides a quick credit influx, many items serve additional purposes, and carelessly selling them could hinder later progress.

Some items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making the sale not always worthwhile. This guide highlights the most profitable items to sell and suggests optimal credit usage.

Best Items To Sell in NieR: Automata

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 high value and lack of alternative use. Examples include:

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

Many other items, however, serve as upgrade components for weapons and pods. Given the game's diverse weapon selection, prioritizing upgrades over selling materials is generally recommended to avoid resource farming later.
