Premium Style Box Worth It?

I'm going to get 60k Nx, and I'm not sure whether to sell it to my friend(s) for the regular 1:50 price or to use 17 Premium Style boxes.
I did a little math, and I know that sold at the standard price, 60k Nx is 3b.

Each Premium Style Box is 3.4k Nx, or 170m.
If I just get 3 Cherubim capes, I could break even easily.

So what the chances of losing money from doing Premium Style Boxes?

Why not a mix of both?

Get boxes until you've obtained a Cape, then sell the rest if you feel you dont have enough for enough boxes to get you another Cape

Ok, guys, I'm going for the most difficult route...selling Nx.
Wish me luck!

with $60 you can just buy 4B from Meso farmers, its better to do that than get Nexon'd and only get little to no profit.

Don't do it...unless you're super lucky. If so, good luck.

Yea They used to sell in Khaini for like 2b. My buddy just bought a Lux for 1b.
Best option is to just sell the Nx.

[quote=sparkshooter]@MegaSonic: What's like the minimum I could earn? I'll probably earn more than 1b right?[/quote]

minimum- 20m per crappy perm item, 17 boxes, 17 * 20 = 340m

Take the 3b.

I dont think the premium surprise style boxes are worth it now. Compared to when they first came out, theres seems to be an extraordinary decline in Nox/Lux Cherubims. I think the only reason nexon took PSSB out for like a week was to nerf the chances of getting the "better" items.
Right now selling nx *to a trusted buyer* seems the way to go.

@sparkshooter: worst case scenario is 1 bill

and thats like a really really low chance

most likley you'll make your 3 bill easy

and you also have a good chance to make 5 bill+

plus you wont get scammed like how people do when they sell nx

[quote=Taichikara]@sparkshooter -shrugs- I don't deal in probability. I tend to see it as logic. The nox/lux capes are rare. If you think it's worth a gamble then do it. I myself did 60k nx the first day those boxes came out (the last time they came out) and just barely managed to make back the equivalent in mesos that the nx was worth.

Would I do it again? Heck no. Not worth it.[/quote]
Ok, thanks for your output, I'm not doing it .
EDIT: When I mean by 'it', I mean the boxes.

With 60k nx worth of boxes, you should be able to earn at least 1b.

The fact that you can be scammed by selling nx.

@Taichikara: Yeah, but what's the chance of me being horrifically unfortunate to not earn 1b+?

But 17 boxes, I've heard of lots of fail stories. Plus I rarely get to buy Nx, maybe like 2 times a year.

But you also got to remember the cash items in general. Some are worth 200mil + . He could make profit from that alone too. Doesn't have to me the wings alone

Do the 3B. A friend of mine opened 21k worth of Surprise boxes in hopes of getting a Nox Cape. He lost profit and didn't get the nox cape.

Lucky enough to get 3 Lun/Nox Cherubims? I doubt it.
