Almost every item acquired in NieR: Automata can be sold to vendors for credits. While selling machine parts provides a quick credit influx, 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 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 seemingly insignificant, serve 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 combat capabilities.
