I am working on a pricing schedule.Does anyone have input regarding:
  1:most desired/popular cuts?
  2: interest in discounts for larger orders
  3: interest in discounts for a  medley type order with a combination of steaks, roasts, hamburger
  4: interest in custom cuts , this could be arranged through the packing company I am using

I hope to be open for "pre orders" in a week or two. I appreciate those who have so far expressed interest.

I am looking into using an escrow company, as has been suggested on this thread, at least until my reputation is established.

thanks for the many helpful suggestions thus far. I am interested in any further interest. \

Thanks again

I don't think you need an escrow, the reviews you have here should suffice to show that its a legitimate business. Just use Bitpay or Coinbase to process the orders.

The more discounts you can give for larger orders the better, it will certainly increase the interest. If people order once and are satisfied, chances are they'll order larger shipments next time.

First of all, I want to thank Paul for shipping me a roast... It will arrive Thursday, and I look forward to roasting it up, sharing it with some friends, and posting some pics and taste test results here.

To answer the questions here:

1. For me, roasts, burgers, strips, sirloin, and ribeye.
2. Makes sense to me.
3. I'd be interest in that too.
4. Standing rib roasts, and hanger steaks.

As for escrow, I'd be happy to do it, but, if you want a real trusted name, I would use Tomatocage or Nightowlace

Thanks for your responses. If any of you who responded want, I will send you a couple of sample steaks or roasts. It will be the week of March 16. I just need to get a shipping address. No charge for the meat and I will pay for shipping. It will be valuable for me as "market research" and, hopefully help with the issue of credibility. I will appreciate the feedback. I will have to see if shipping to Hawaii is possible and if so I will send you some there as well.
 How is the best way to get me your shipping address? Do you want to email me?
  Thanks for the in put.

Do u sell dog meat?
That's gross, man.

I have a feeling I'll be most interested in the quater cuts but I can't say so for sure it wouldn't be just me making the purchase. Also  interests in discounts for larger orders and medley types are intriguing but I'll know more of what I'd like in the coming weeks just wanted to give you some feedback.

I raise pasture fed angus beef in Missouri. To buy with bitcoins directly from the farm, e mail me at [email protected]. I am working on a website. I think this is a quality product.

 

I am in the same state (STL).  We sometimes make our own beef jerky.  Can you provide me with bottom round at a better price than costco/samsclub can offer?  Also is this some sketchy-at-home-operation or do you have a proper butcherhouse?

   I use Lockwood Packing at Lockwood Missouri. The meat is USDA inspected. I have been pleased with their services so far.
The butcher will do custom cuts to order. I have been getting a variety of steaks, roasts and ground beef. I think that the quality has been quite good. Depending on the quantity you want,and if you give me enough notice, we can do custom cuts that you want. 
  I am working on a price schedule now, but I think that the price will be very competitive for similar quality beef. You will likely get a significant saving if you order a side of beef or one quarter of a beef.
   We should have a website up soon with more details.

First official Beef for Bitcoins thread lol



Just Thought it worthy to note that for those in Aus there is http://www.honestbeef.com.au/index.php that excepts Bitcoin.

I have not tried them as I think am too far from them for shipping.

Packs are 20Kg so make sure you have plenty of freezer space.

so what is the price range
I am working on pricing now.I will post something in a couple of days. But generally I am looking at about 5.00 per lb for hamburger, 8.00 per lb for roasts and 13.00 per lb for steaks (depending on cuts of course). Shipping will be additional cost . I am hoping to offer significant discount for orders over ten lb.
Prices seem about right, if translated to the ones in my own country. With shipping it could be a bit expensive as it seems, but quality costs I guess.

Tried the roast last night in the crock pot. It was pretty good. The meat was falling off of the bone.

Scoring: best out of  /10
Shipping speed 10/10
Packing 10/10
Cuts 9/10
Marbling 10/10
Freshness 10/10
Tenderness  10/10
Taste 9/10 ( I would give it a 10 but I have had cuts with more flavor)


Overall I am very satisfied and plan to be a repeat customer. Thank you!

so what is the price range
Right now I am planning to only offer to sell my best beef direct. I hope to offer something that is uniformly of  very high quality. If I think an animal does not measure up, then he gets sold by the conventional route at the local stockyards.

Yes indeed thanks for the reviews and updates and those yummy pics!  I requested a sample as I'm in North East USA and hope to hear back from Andelin about that.  Enjoy what looks to be some high quality beef folks.

After I posted that the package arrived we put it in the fridge and I went back to work.
Later that evening I opened up the T-bone and Rib Eye steaks, and they looked and smelled fine.  I figured they had recently thawed out and were ready to go. (We did throw out the ground beef).

15 year old son tried a new steak sauce.  Equal amounts of red cooking wine and honey, lots of freshly ground pepper, and several crushed garlic cloves.  He served it with steamed vegetables (broccoli, bell pepper, onions, and mushrooms) with a honey wine vinegar drizzled over it.  Also some wheat bread just out of the oven with lots of honey. Wink

Turned out a very good meal.  The meat was fine, glad we didn't toss it out!  There were two of each type of steak, thick slices, and it fed 6 people.

If I had not bought a 1/2 a cow (with bitcoins  Cool) a week before this thread was created, and didn't have a friend locally who I buy from, I would consider buying from andelin before purchasing from the grocery store.

Figuring out how to ship a perishable item is a tricky thing and I consider the problems of this first run not to be an issue.  I think everyone can order from andelin without worrying about it being a scam.

We meant to take some pictures, but we were pretty hungry and it smelled really good once it was cooked...and we forgot to grab the camera.

No need to send a replacement shipment to us.  Thanks for sharing.
Nice review, happy to hear people are satisfied, couple more of these and OP will have some nice + reps.
Keep it up!
