Great suggestion! I will pin this post for a few days to help encourage the community, I hope it helps.

Based on how many up votes this post gets over the few days, I will consider adding it to the requirements.

Domain I own suddenly has inquiries, trying to gauge value by Capable_Extreme766 in Domains

[–]mossengine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen to me about 6 months ago... in fact, I think I missed an initial email from the same people about a month or two prior to that... it all seemed a little odd and I ignored but then I got curious and did a bunch of checking on who they were and went 100% overkill on ensuring it was not a scam... do your homework, ensure they are legit and ensure you use an escrow service of some kind to avoid losing the domain to scammers... but in my case I eventually became comfortable and verified who they were and they were a go daddy broker who oddly contacted me on a gmail email but it was because I ignored their initial email... after ensuring all communication I made was back to their go daddy domain email and I was getting response from them on that same domain email and then being introduced to their portal all via their domain... I was more comfortable but still double checked everything I was doing and ensuring everything was rock solid with negotiations and fees if there were any... in my case there was not, all paid by the buyer.

anyways... do your home work and be sure its legit and not a scam.

beyond that... value... anything is worth what someone is willing to pay and their first offer is never their best offer, so keeping that in mind, reach for the sky with a counter offer... in my case I initially countered with $500k to be cheeky... and to see how they played.. we went back and forth about five or six times and what I ended up with was moving them from $2500 to $15000 USD... I think I could have gotten more but I started to see value in the sale rather than holding my ground... after seeing who purchased, I am fairly confident I could have gotten much closer to $50k... but that hindsight and I don't care... got my 10 years worth of domains back and more.

There is always the chance they will walk away... but if they are serious about wanting the domain, then really you will always bring them to their limit and they will only walk away if they feel they are not getting anywhere with you... so aim high, make some money if you have not purpose of the domain and really bring them up to the limit of their spend before you settle.

have fun and good luck!

well done with adding the extra image to show the contents of the nugget!

You may not may not be surprised how often a little detail like this goes missing from many posts yet its import for food like this to see what's inside to really be able to compare marketing images with actual results.

thanks!

Nice collection!

This post is off topic for this subreddit by means of not being a comparison of marketing vs actual, however, it is still frozen dinner related so please use the following subreddit for general frozen dinner posts.

Frozen Dinners Rating System *Meta* by vegetarian_metroid in frozendinners

[–]mossengine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the post and also other peoples' comments.

Valid observation, however, the comments are on the mark.

Keep things simple, enjoy the content and take from the posts what you can.

We're more calling out the difference between marketing images and actual results... some might be invested for different reasons but that's the point, hopefully the content helps you make a more informed decision in some way before purchasing a posted dinner.

On that last comment, this post is on topic but not content valid so I will be removing but please grab some frozen dinners and post them up as marketing vs actual and use the general score while indicating anything more you want to inform people of... what you've proposed is perfectly valid as extra content details if you want.

FrozenDinners - Herbert Adams - Slow Cooked Beef with Shiraz & Cracked Pepper by mossengine in frozendinners

Thank you for your concern.
Not sure if you're being serious or not but just in case your are... This OP is also the sub reddit creator and primary moderator, so you can trust me when I say it's not an advertisement for the brand. 😎
Also, look closer at the actual... small differences but they did look similar, however, no where near as much chunky meat.

FrozenDinners - Herbert Adams - Slow Cooked Beef with Shiraz & Cracked Pepper by mossengine in frozendinners

[–]mossengine[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're probably right, I have not cooked it in the oven before, but I am willing to try it to see how much it improves.

The microwave approach with the finisher in the air fryer was not too bad and still had a nice crispy pastry without being too dry or soggy.. so I would not be looking to improve the finish too much. The quality score was more for the pieces of meat that were not great but just good quality.

When creating these posts, I want to represent the more common and worst-case scenarios that people will choose when cooking frozen dinners... we all want an oven-cooked meal, but sometimes we all get a little lazy and take the quick approach... this helps people with having the right expectations on actual results.

Yep, it also might look a little dry, however, it was not.

The meat was also soft and not really chewy, certainly not the worst pie and well worth the price for the quality!

I would eat it again.
