Nearly every item acquired in NieR: Automata can be sold to vendors for currency. While selling machine parts provides a simple income stream, many items serve additional purposes, and selling them might inadvertently hinder your progress.

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." 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, while not explicitly marked, serve as upgrade components for weapons and pod systems. Given the abundance of weapons available, prioritizing upgrades for your preferred arsenal is crucial, rather than repeatedly farming for resources you may have already collected.
