* That book that Thaler gave me. I kept holding onto it, hoping it would come in handy at some point. (Well, no one would buy it, either, but the point is: I sacrificed a slot in my inventory for that book ever since I received it. I carried it around with me everywhere. Thankfully the ink was indelible, so the swampwaters didn't affect it and turn it into a blurry mess, or anything.)* Those stupid scoia'tael 'squirrel-tail' things, those crudely suggestive puff-rags. The description said "quest item" (or something similar to that), so I held onto them, just in case, even though the game did not put them into the Quest Item bag. Never found any use for them. Maybe there's a use for them if you play the game on the Order's side? It seems to make sense to me that, just like Leuvaarden's purchasing of Salamandra badges to prove Salamandra deaths: the Order probably pays for 'squirrel tails' to prove the deaths of elves. Well... as for me, I held on to them anyhow, even though I was pro-Scoia'tael, and I mourned my possession of every single one of those tails. Screw co-op existence!* Anything valuable. Ladies' garments, rings, gemstones. Apparently, aside from the druids, they had only two purposes: 1. to get certain women to share with you some [usually useless] gossip (or, in one waitress' case, an alchemy recipe you already know (although that recipe might've been useful a little earlier in the game)), and 2. to get some woman to play the [always useless, though occasionally amusing] grind game with you. Next playthrough I guess I can feel pretty assured to sell all of these oh-so-valuable things (Geralt's done them, curiosity is satisfied). ...Well, maybe Alina's sister Celina deserves a ride, I felt bad for her until she turned murderess... and maybe then hold a few for the last chapter, for the druids... but still, even there: 1. their potion-rewards aren't even very good, and 2. they won't sell to you after you give them something. Seems pretty ironic to me. Pretty contradictory. All they say to me is "Good night!" I mean: I give them something they're looking really eagerly for, and they repay me with a couple of lame Thunderbolt potions and a boycott! How's that for gratitude?* Among those valuables, in particular: the silver signet ring. It was secreted away in a chest upstairs in the New Narakort -- remember, the point where that nosy, spying merchant who probably has ties to Salamandra or something confronts you for poking about through other people's stuff (honestly, people should be confronting Geralt more often about this sort of behavior, I mean, it's just not right) -- I held onto it because I figured it might prove valuable. I always kept it on my finger, but never got any prompting to show it to anyone, oh well.* Several rare or unique alchemical items which were easily replaceable by other items I had in bulk... but maybe in a second playthrough I'll found out there's a use for them.* I can probably think of two or three more, but I'll stop.
