On Tori.fi, sellers have been facing a bold thief who is unafraid to reveal his face while pursuing small valuable items. After receiving the item, the man pulls out a knife instead of a wallet. This alarming trend raises concerns among online sellers about their safety and security during transactions.

Tarja, a collector based in Helsinki, had been selling a signed glass bottle designed by Helena Tynell, which she had purchased last year as an investment. She initially bought the bottle for 750 euros and decided to list it for 1,400 euros in early January. When an interested man contacted her in early February expressing interest in viewing the item at her home, Tarja did not find the request unusual, as home viewings are common among collectors who wish to examine items closely.

However, the situation took a dangerous turn when the man, dressed in black, entered Tarja's home just days later. The encounter took a threatening turn as he attempted to rob her, revealing a knife instead of the payment he promised. Tarja's experience highlights the risks involved in personal transactions, especially for those who sell valuable items online, emphasizing the need for increased safety measures in peer-to-peer trading environments.
