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 unintentionally hinder your progress.

Some items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making some sales less worthwhile. This guide highlights the most profitable items to sell and suggests optimal credit allocation.

Best Items To Sell in NieR: Automata

The key indicator for whether an item should be sold is the "Can be exchanged for money" note in its description. While all items are sellable, this notation signifies high resale value and lack of alternative uses. Examples include:

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

Many other items, while not immediately obvious, serve as upgrade materials for weapons and pod enhancements. Given the game's diverse weapon selection, prioritizing upgrades over selling potentially valuable resources is crucial.
