Nearly every item acquired in NieR: Automata can be sold to vendors for currency. While selling machine parts provides a straightforward 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 of certain items less worthwhile. Below, we highlight the most profitable items to sell and suggest optimal uses for your hard-earned credits.

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 value but also a lack of alternative uses. Examples of items ideal for selling include:

• Any fish or junk acquired during fishing.
• Jewelry
• Masks
• Animal meat

Many other items, however, serve as upgrade components for weapons and pod systems. Given the game's diverse weapon selection, prioritizing upgrades for your preferred weapons is crucial, avoiding the need to later farm for materials you may have previously sold.
