Check a pickup's named uses first. Reserve materials for the crafts you selected, then check other bus, survival and objective needs before selling any remaining copies.
An item stays with the run when it serves the bus, a weapon or survival need, a recipe visible at the workbench, an active character or vault objective, or either Fred route. If any protected role is uncertain, inspect and hold. “Sell the Surplus” applies only when every protected role is ruled out, the copy is genuinely extra for the team, and it can be replaced now.
A cash sale and a Ticket offer answer different needs. First protect the copies you need for crafting, survival or an active objective. Then compare the remaining copies against the offer actually on your screen.
The item directory contains selected community cash references. For example, one Silver Bar and one Antique Globe have a combined recorded cash value of 410 before any unmodelled modifier. That is arithmetic from the references, not a guaranteed current sale or a Ticket payout.
The published Vault image separates stored items from an Offers panel. An offer pairs an item requirement with a Ticket reward and a Sell button. A Stock label and countdown are also visible; the image alone does not prove their full rules or today’s values.
Match the exact requested item, read the amount consumed by one trade, then read the reward and any applicable limit. Do not substitute the item’s cash price, an old screenshot reward or a general multiplier.
Use the offer comparison to reserve the intended copies. A copy selected for cash sale cannot also supply the offer. A higher cash reference does not automatically make an offer good or bad: the comparison shows different currencies, not a universal profit ranking.
The official objective is to reach 250 Ticket value in your vault. A code reward, cash-sale total or planned offer payout is not proof that this condition has been met. Check the relevant in-game value and actual badge award before marking the tracker.

It has selected, attributed cash references rather than a complete live price database. Unknown prices remain excluded from estimates. The sale list shows the cash subtotal separately from the Ticket offer comparison.
Before discarding Empty Cans, check both their Noodle objective and their documented crafting use.
These named uses give you a starting point; they are not a complete item-price or quest database.
| Item | A documented use to check | Practical next step |
|---|---|---|
| Wood | Basic Wheel, Crafting Table, Wooden Chest, Wooden Ladder | Reserve the quantity for selected outputs; a wheel upgrade can need Wood through its Basic Wheel |
| Scrap | Basic Wheel, Spiked Wheel, Crafting Table, Wooden Chest, Lantern, Generator Card | Add shared recipe requirements once before comparing them with inventory |
| Rope | Wooden Ladder, Lantern, Sack | Search the recipes before treating it as unused |
| Bandage | Sack uses 3 per listed recipe | Protect the medical supplies you intend to keep before assigning copies to a craft |
| Empty Can | Generator Card uses 2 per listed recipe | A recipe use is enough reason not to classify every can as junk; separate event needs remain a different check |
| Duct Tape | Generator Card and Sack | Reserve the selected recipe amounts first |
| Basic Wheel | Ingredient for Spiked Wheel | Keep a spare outside the upgrade allocation rather than counting the same wheel twice |

For one Basic Wheel and one Wooden Chest, reserve 8 Wood and 6 Scrap. With 3 Wood and 2 Scrap already available, the shortage is 5 Wood and 4 Scrap.
The planner's Not assigned to this plan result is not a sale recommendation. It only means that the selected crafts did not use those copies. Run the remaining items through the keep-or-sell check for other needs.
Recipe sources are linked in the crafting reference. This module does not introduce sale prices, replacement guarantees or an “always sell” list.
Calculate my missing materialsKeep a component that serves the bus or a build being used now.
Keep matching ammunition, healing, or a confirmed survival item needed by the current group.
Keep ingredients for a recipe that is visible and selected for this run.
Keep items assigned to an NPC, Hospital, vault, Anubis preparation, or Fred objective.
Keep temporarily when inspection has not established the role or replaceability.
Answer from the current run. Not sure never becomes permission to sell.
Count only a goal you are pursuing in this run.
A confirmed current build need is enough reason to keep it.
Do not guess weapon matches or item effects; choose Not sure if you cannot verify them.
Use the current recipe screen, not an old or unverified list.
Answer Yes only after accounting for your current goal and team.
Do not assume an item respawns or will appear again.
Press Y and confirm the visible item identity before choosing a copy to sell.
Look for a current objective, bus, weapon, survival, or visible workbench use.
Account for the whole team and current ending plan before calling the item an extra copy.
Use only a replacement source and sale value visible in the current server.
Recheck the selected object and keep every copy assigned to a current role.
A reliable universal buy-back, respawn, or recovery method has not been confirmed.
| What happened | Safe next move |
|---|---|
| Required item was sold | Pause the plan, check the current stop and every team inventory, then identify a visible replacement before proceeding. |
| Matching ammunition was sold | Do not assume a free refill. Re-evaluate the carried weapon and next fight before spending or leaving. |
| Event or ending item was sold | Confirm whether another copy exists. A restart or respawn is not promised without current evidence. |
| The visible value changed | Treat the current server display as authoritative for this sale and report the dated difference on the contact page. |
| Name and image do not match | Cancel the sale, inspect again, and avoid using a table row until identity is certain. |
Do not automatically sell an item tied to the current bus, a carried weapon or survival need, a visible recipe, an active NPC or vault objective, or a Fred ending plan.

All four protected roles were ruled out, the checked copy is truly extra for the team, and a replacement source exists in the current server.
Choose Verify First. Inspect with Y, check the team plan and visible workbench, and hold the item temporarily.
A reliable universal recovery method has not been confirmed. Recheck the current stop and team inventory instead of assuming the item respawns.
