Nearly every item acquired in NieR: Automata can be sold to merchants for currency. While selling machine parts provides a straightforward 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 uses for your hard-earned credits.

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 not only a high sale price but also a lack of alternative uses. Examples include:

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

Many other items, while seemingly expendable, function as upgrade components for weapons and pods. Given the game's diverse weapon selection, prioritizing upgrades over selling valuable resources is crucial for optimizing your build.
