Don't let coin sellers to steal your Cadiro deal

Alright, here is the story:

Got good deal from the fat guy, needed coins. Visited PoE trade and contacted seller with the best ratio to buy coins for an exalt. Joined the party and went to his HO. the very same moment, his teammate went to my HO and "invaded" my map. The moment I realized what is going on and left the party it was to late and he was in my map.. The only thing that saved me was that my portal was very far from Cadiro, so he probably was thinking there is no deal to snipe there..

To prevent this situation, assuming the deal is in endgame map, temporarily prevent people from going into your hideout using HO settings, where you un-check the last option:

Wow, thanks for the heads up. This had crossed my mind, as I have bought coins before, in one such instance to buy a lightning coil for 4k coins.

Something I'll keep in mind next time I have this scenario.
If you don't like people that do this, here's what to do:

1) Place a portal in your map near a big mob (eg: pendarus chest).
If you place it just as you aggro the mob, you can get in it as they run up to it, then they'll be sitting next to it waiting.
2) Advertise to buy some Pendarus coins.
3) If the person doesn't invade your map, you get some pendarus coins - choice!
4) If the person does invade your map, they will get a pleasant surprise.
Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:
