Molly3 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Does anyone have any idea if it really does (literally) pay off to use a rarer nerkmid? I'm going for the avatar but want to know if it's worth the gamble to go ahead and buy an expensive one and hope for a paintbrush or something of the sort. I know there's a good chance you get gross food or a bad prize, but just checking what other opinions there are out there. Also, will the price deflate? I know they're not usually in the 220k range -- a bit lower, right? Considering waiting, even if just saves me 20 or 40k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It makes no difference what Nerkmid you use, it's all random. I'd go for the cheapest one if I were you, which is around 220k. You might be able to get cheaper if you mail someone, but there's no reason for the prices to deflate I'm afraid :( Emily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly3 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Okay, thanks. Anyone else gotten something nice from the Vending Machine? *crosses fingers* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The first time I ever did it I won an even more expensive Nerkmid back, and the last time I won a Christmas Paintbrush. :) I was trying for the avatar and trophy, is that why you want to use it or are you after 'spensive prizes?

Molly3 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Just the avatar, but figured I'd go after some expensive prizes at the same time if I could. Unfortunately, not so lucky. A bit of money and gross food. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren_x Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Just the avatar, but figured I'd go after some expensive prizes at the same time if I could. Unfortunately, not so lucky. A bit of money and gross food. Bummer. Yeah that's all I got when I used my nerkmid too! It was a bit disappointing but at least I got an avatar out of it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Awe, that is a shame :( At least the avvie is a sure thing though! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think it's ridiculous how random it is. I got NOTHING from it (but the avatar), and I'm glad I won the nerkmid or found it or something (I can't remember lol) because it certainly isn't worth the NPs.

Saxen Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It is ridiculous that getting anything good is so rare but that's half the fun of Neopets - plus there are avvies that are random and can cost loooads like "Kelp". I don't have beef with the Vending Machine, it's alright. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorious918 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Random Stuffs and getting bumped out for the trophy level is not fun at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly3 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Yes, I have to agree -- there are other avatars that make me want to tear my hair out. At least the Vending Machine doesn't repeatedly infuriate me such as, oh let's say, Bilge Dice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Oh man don't even talk to me about that avatar XD Getting 24 was bad enough let alone 10 wins in a row O.o Vending Machine is no where near as bad as that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallpaper757 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I lucked out and got a nerkmid through a random event =) unfortunately I got one of the junk prizes =( I doubt I'll try it again until after I get some of the more expensive avvies I need collat for. I can think of much better uses for my limited funds =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I can't actually remember what I got when I got this avatar so I'm assuming it wasn't anything great lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eme Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I got my nerkmid through a random event. I didn't win anything nice. I just got gross food (although it was clamade so it was more expensive gross food) and np. To me, it isn't really worth it (except for the avatar).

Rune Valentine Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think you get something good about 1/10000 times, no matter what kind of nerkmid you use. Sadly, most of my nerkmids have gone to waste as gross food. Though I did win a Wraith PB once, I'm still convinced that was a fluke :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeka Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I know a person who won Wraith Paint Brush. Lucky, eh? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haliaetus Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I got this avatar a couple of weeks ago thanks to getting a nerkmid from a RE. When I deposited it, I got the avatar and another nerkimid back. Probably should have sold it, but instead I deposited that one, too, and ended up with a piece of gross food and a few neopints. I don't know anyone, personally, that's gotten a decent prize from it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
