Important manga Nabiki stories:
    Volume 17, Nabiki becomes Ranma's fiancee instead of Akane
    Volume 29, Nabiki's stinginess duel.
    Volume 35, Nabiki and Ranma at home alone (episode 5)

I'd add a couple of others... the Gambling King story (vol. 15), which
shows that it *is* possible that she might help her family without
demanding a reward... and Secret Sauce (vol. 19), which shows that her
helpfulness has its limits.

As for the anime, quite frankly I'd advise against using it as any sort
of basis for characterization. It is markedly inconsistent between
different episodes, and much of its treatment of characters IMO runs
counter to the spirit of those characters as shown by Takahashi-sama in
the manga.
