Indeed, players can sell broken armor to Ragman. However, these items are not as commonly found during lootings compared to weapons, making them a less practical resource for income. As you venture further into the game, you may gather a number of damaged armor pieces from regular wear and tear.

Early game armor typically isn’t cost-effective to repair, as repair expenses in Coupons can be rather steep due to the game’s economy mechanics. Hence, selling them to Ragman often emerges as the superior option.

Overall, it’s more advantageous to offload your damaged armor rather than stashing them in your Private Stash or wasting valuable Coupons on repairs. Advancing through the storyline will see you discovering upgraded armor options that provide better protection against radiation and physical harm, rendering earlier equipment less relevant.
