put smaller batches for sale in bazaar and/or  self hospitalize urself (best with wrong type bloodbag) and later ghost trade from hospital the proceeds to a trusted friend... or fly off after putting out stuff for sale though you can still be tracked

rent pi with air port and start traveling and you will get 2-6 mill per day depending on activity. 

yours net worth dropped just +-2 mills, if 2 mills was mug and it is yours week profit you are bad trader (1 fly to sa makes you more profit :D). Play smarter not harder.

Unfortunately that is just part of the game, but there are definitely steps you can take to protect yourself. Don't sell things unless you are online, and as soon as you sell something make sure you deposit your money somewhere. If you have a private vault, great, if not you could always go to the bookie in the casino and bet on a sporting event a few days in advance just don't forget to take it out before the actual event! There are other ways, and there is information on those ways in the tips and tricks sections of the forums.

There are a lot of underhanded people out there. Just yesterday I set up a trade with someone Who wanted to buy all of my donator packs. After we agreed on a price and everything was done he/she mugged me and stole $10,000,000! It pissed me off, but I was too slow in depositing my money. To tell you the truth I probably would've done the same thing LOL.

There's a lot of ways to help mitigate the damage buy muggers can do to you. It happens to every trader at some point.

First, blacklist the person who mugged you so that same person can't buy from you again.

You can trade items directly with trusted traders if you're worried about getting mugged.

Sell in smaller quantities, a buy mugger usually wont waste their energy if they're only going to get a small amount of cash. Then get that cash out of your hand as soon as it gets in there. Use a bookie bet for short term money storage. 

You can travel, or get yourself hospitalized while you have items for sale. You can't get mugged in hosp. Remember to have your revives turned off. 

If you work in a clothing store of at least 7*, muggers will get 75% less money from you. Some muggers might not even bother trying if they see you're working there, knowing they won't get much.

You can also get mug protection. Find someone you trust to mug you while you carry a large amount of cash. For a couple hours, if you get mugged while carrying that amount or less, a mugger will get no money from you.

Good luck!

Of course he’s from JFA lol. Your best bet is to add all JFA to your black list and nobody from that faction can buy from you. It won’t protect you 100% but it’ll be a big step towards not being buy mugged in future... 



fortunately for me I haven’t needed to do this because Stretch said he wants my babies so I gotta allow him to mug my ass a few times if he wishes :)

well there are some actionsi can recommend  you to take,some will only decrease the chances of it happenning and some will decrease your loses incase one happens

1)have your bazzer open only when you are at the computer (get tornwatch/doctorn)

2)you can fly to an area close by (cayman/canada) while you are offline incase you insist on selling while offline,a buy mugger will consider it as a bother to waste time to fly and mug you (altough there is still a small chance)

3)try and hosp yourself (buy blood bag with the wrong blood type and inject it to yourself) they cant mug you while you at hosp

4)as mentioned above try and find a friend who will sell it for you

5)you can sell the items in bulk for a cut in the profit if you look for someone who wants to buy (be carful they might be scammers and mug you)

6)sell small quanities over time

7)you can blacklist people who did that before and there is an option to prevent them from buying from your bazzer

8)(upgrade to 7) look for people who got buy mug too and em to your blacklist (https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=10&t=16013985&b=0&a=0) :)

9)try the trade chat

 

i personly liked 7+8 

good luck with the trading :)
