autosell

Autosell is a feature in digital inventory systems that automatically sells items in a player's inventory for in-game currency. It is commonly found in role-playing games, action RPGs, and massively multiplayer online games, as well as in some mobile titles and software that manages virtual inventories. The feature is typically activated by designating items as junk or by setting rules that define which items are eligible for sale, such as quality, type, or current value.

Operation varies by implementation. In many games, autosell runs when the player interacts with a vendor or when the inventory is full, selling items that meet the defined criteria. Some games offer separate buttons or addons to perform a sale, while others perform sales automatically without prompts.

Players can usually customize thresholds and exclusions. Common options include selling only items below a certain value, excluding quest items, and preserving materials needed for crafting or salvaging. Some systems permit per-item exceptions or global disabled periods.

Benefits include reduced inventory management time, faster monetization of unused loot, and a steadier influx of currency. Potential drawbacks include accidental sale of valuable or rare items, loss of salvage materials, and reduced opportunity for item-level decision making or inspection.

Autosell is a common quality-of-life feature in many RPGs and MMO inventories, and it also appears in some inventory-management tools and addons that extend game functionality. Its implementation reflects a balance between convenience and control over valuable loot.
