    I haven't bought any...
    I got them from the first free 150, daily dare 150, spring celebration 50.
    Personally, I don't think it's worth to buy it.

    What do you mean is it legit? Of course it's legit.

    Viacom is a multi-national LSO.. if they stole children's money off a virtual pet site I think that it'd be in the news and they'd have a massive political football on their hands.

    As for their worth, I don't buy any.. but I know people who have spent hundreds of dollars on them. Lilangel has spent $200 on only 4 items.. ridiculous.

    I find that virtual games are not worth the money to buy virtual items for. It's just a big waste of money. Spend it on something tangible. :)

    Like the Meepit plushies I have in real life. =D

    Seriously, though, the NC Mall...buying NeoCash, I suppose, would be worth it if you like the customization features, but I'm content to double-paint pets Royal and a different base color. :yup:

    I mean if it's worth it.
    I agree with the idea that it's just a big waste of money.
    They make neohome 2.0, so that people who do not buy neocash don't get the spotlights.

    The plushies too, some people just buy plushies in order to get characters for keyquest. OMG.

    I like the idea that virtual items are sold for real money... not in an "I want to run out and buy some" way, but very much in an "I find that so damned funny" way.

    It's not that I'm saying people can't spend their money on whatever they want - whatever makes you happy, vive la difference. What gets me though is how these virtual items are sold for widely different amounts of cash as though one thing was actually worth more than another in terms of real money. :lol: Non-existant virtual platinum earrings are not "worth" any more than virtual gold earrings or a virtual potted plant. They're pixels in a box, for God's sake.

    How exactly can you get neocash without buying it in the store?
    Is there a giant list or is it just the few?

    You can get 150 NC free per account, and if you play Qasalan Expellibox and win you can earn NeoCash for free, as well.

    And buying plushies just for KeyQuest and the suchlike....I've never even played KQ. o_O I might buy a plushie just because it's a cute toy or something, but purely for the SAKE of an online game.

    They also give it away as prizes, such as in the recent Daily Dare. I had 400 NC from free prizes, so I used them to buy tickets for Lulu's challenges for a bit of extra NPs.

    And don't forget, neocash disappears after 1 year has passed from the time you've received them. So you might as well spend the free NC while you have it.

    I know some people who have spent well over $1,000 real life dollars on NeoCash. I think it's crazy. I don't even have the much to spend on real life other things let alone Neopets XD

    It is legit...but its not worth buying...Well, it is if you are really into neopets and everything..but other than that, its just a way for tnt to make as much as possible from neopets.

    Well, it's a personal decision. It's going to be a safe transaction, but is it worth it to you?

    IMHO, absolutely not. Remember that 100NC = 1 USD. So, you're paying five bucks to get like a hat on your Neopet.

    Some games I do find worth it, however. Like ConquerClub, where premium membership gets unlimited games of risk. The catch? I pay $2 / month. Hardly anything, especially compared to Neopets Premium or the NC Mall.

    But most importantly:
    You're on a Neopets CHEAT site. There are NO refunds. I would not advise cheating and giving money to TNT simultaneously.
