Selling in public lobbies just never seems to work out for me

I know there is a high-demand bonus but any time i join a public server, i wait and check a bit if its fine. It appears fine but the moment i try selling my acid there is always someone trying to blow me up, and to prevent losing it all, i have to alt f4 and go through the whole thing of finding a proper public lobby. It just doesnt seem worth the constant searching for me, especially cus i have the agency for money and am saving for the sub for cayo perico. Anyone else get me or am i doing something wrong?
