Black market (UnNetHack)
In UnNetHack, the black market is a special level with one or many shops which offer a wide variety of goods at extremely high prices. Specifically, magical items cost 25 times what they would in a normal shop, and non-magical items cost 15 times normal.

One-eyed Sam

One-eyed Sam is in charge of the black market, and is very difficult to kill, even for ascension-ready characters. She wields the deadly sword Thiefbane and is equipped with most of an ascension kit (well-enchanted magic dragon scale mail, a shield of reflection, and speed boots, as well as an amulet of life saving).
Stealing

"List a few more strategies and why they're risky"
Most of the strategies for stealing from SLASH'EM's black market do not work in UnNetHack, since Sam resists poison, flies, and can break boulders, so surrounding yourself with boulders or pits will not protect you, and there's no chance of instakill with a poisoned dart or arrow. Also, if you anger her for any reason, iron bars drop from the ceiling around the magic portal, blocking it (however, this is not as extreme as it would be in other variants, since iron bars in UnNetHack can be destroyed by acid or eaten by metallivores).
Perhaps the best technique to kill Sam is to use a powerful ranged attack (for example, expert bow with highly enchanted arrows) and start attacking her from maximum range. With luck, you can kill her before she gets the chance to kill you first.
