Nearly every item acquired in NieR: Automata can be sold to vendors for credits. While selling machine parts provides a quick income stream, many items serve additional purposes, and selling them prematurely could hinder your 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 most reliable indicator of an item's sellable value is the in-game description: "Can be exchanged for money." This designation signifies not only a high sale price but also a lack of alternative uses. Examples include:

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

While other items may appear expendable, most function as upgrade components for weapons and pods. Given the abundance of weapons in the game, prioritizing upgrades for your preferred arsenal is crucial, preventing the need for later resource farming.
