Have you ever sold an app on Flippa?
I'm giving it a shot and offering Grooply.io up for sale (which I have previously posted about). It feels weird, but I just know I won't be able to give it the time it needs any time soon.
My question is: I received two people asking questions and one bid. The bidder hasn't done any transactions before and has no rating. Is there any risk to accepting the bid? I can't shake a vaguely sketchy feeling. The listing is here: https://flippa.com/9038562-grooply-io
There have been two discussions of people asking questions. One of them has done a whole bunch of transactions and has a 100% rating, but they clearly didn't even read my listing, so that seems weird too.
Any thoughts?

I sold a WordPress Theme site for $400 a few years ago. It included a handful of themes, the theme website, and the theme demo sites. Most profitable venture I've had to date :)
I was a bit skeptical at first, but in the end the transaction went smoothly. The bid was lower than my request, so I counter offered.
I don't have any experience on Flippa but as I learnt from Gavin de Becker's 'The Gift of Fear'*, humans are really good at sniffing out BS. If you think something smells funny here, then you are most likely right.

Adding on to this—the bidder created the acct 24 days ago and "Has bid on 13 listings from 11 sellers" but has not completed any buys. Obviously this could be for any number of legit reasons, and I don't see any specific threat to just accepting the bid, but... I just don't know much about this platform.
