Did I get ripped off?


I had a door to door salesman come by today with a truck full of meat and I ended up buying the following for 270$ usd

6 12oz non Japanese wagyu prime New York strips

6 8 oz "sushi grade" ahi tuna fillets

15 Kobe beef patties

I took a chance here (usually don't if I'm not informed. I was also quite hungry at the time).

curious if I got ripped off or if I did ok. I don't know much about fancy meats. I ate one of the strips and it was delicious but I also think popeyes is delicious so I'm not sure my opinion is valid.

also in so cal if that matters.

    Buying meat from a door to door salesman is a crazy concept. And yes you got ripped off. If the product is actually good they dont need to do these door to door tactics

    Sorry man you definitely got ripped off but hopefully it tastes good. It could be worse if it doesn’t taste good.

    If we guess that the patties are 1/4 lb each, my math showed 24 a pound for all of it. Not great.

    1) valid opinion it was good

    2) former door to door meat salesman – just skip it next time. Any business based on stressing urgency for the one time sale is based on short term hustle vs long term customer happy times

    3) my man – 4.5lb of steak, 3lb of tuna, and 5lb of burger is NOT worth almost $300. Maybe $15/steak for choice cuts, not prime, and absolutely not actual wagyu

    Sucks but the extra $50-100 you paid is a not terribly expensive lesson: if someone is selling you something and demanding urgency, it’s almost never to your benefit.

    I hope this is a joke. Kobe? Sushi grade? Non Japanese Wagyu Prime?

    Hard to say if you got ripped off, maybe they sold you what they say it is, maybe its not what they say it is.

    Maybe its stolen and you got a really good deal?

    I pay about $7-9 for a 6 oz sushi grade ahi tuna steak. American Wagyu is about $120 per lb.

    are the patties 4 oz?

    Also i will add that your opinion is valid. Delicious is not an objective characteristic, there are a lot of factors at play!

    As a rule of thumb, never buy anything from door to door salesmen

    You got a great deal, fuck the haters (I sell meat door to door)

    $16.8 per packaged little bag, that’s not too bad, I guess.

    Never would I ever buy from a door to door meat man.

    I’ve also never heard of a “non Japanese wagyu”.
