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

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 high resale value but also a lack of alternative uses. Examples include:

• Fish and junk obtained through fishing.
• Jewelry
• Masks
