How to Sell Equipment in Roblox Prospecting
Learn the truth about equipment selling in Roblox Prospecting! Discover what can be sold, what cannot, and the best alternatives for managing your gear effectively.
Quick Answer
You cannot sell equipment (pans, shovels, rings, necklaces, charms) for cash in Roblox Prospecting. Only minerals and ores can be sold to the Merchant NPC. However, there are several alternatives for managing unwanted gear.
❌ Equipment Cannot Be Sold
In Prospecting! on Roblox, you cannot directly sell your old or unwanted equipment (like pans, shovels, or crafted gear) for cash through an in-game mechanic like you do with minerals. This is a key difference from other items in the game.
Once you purchase, craft, or upgrade equipment, it remains in your inventory; there is currently no official way to directly sell it for cash in Prospecting! (as of July 2025).
