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.

Some items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making selling certain items inefficient. 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 selling an item is the in-game description: "Can be exchanged for money." While all items are technically sellable, this designation signifies not only a high sale price but also a lack of alternative uses. Examples of items ideal for selling 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 these materials is crucial to maximizing your combat effectiveness.
