--- title: "Sold anyway: flagged listings that sold" url: https://firstpassmemo.com/sold-anyway/ updated: 2026-10-25 publisher: FirstPass Memo (hello@firstpassmemo.com) --- Teardowns · Record # Sold anyway: flagged listings that sold or left the market Short answer: Of the 91 Empire Flippers listings we tore down, 1 is marked sold, 2 pending sale and 7 no longer in the public marketplace data, as of 25 October 2026. Each is shown with the flags our first pass raised and its last asking price. A flag is a question for the seller, not a prediction, so listings with flags sell too.

Each flag is a fact a buyer should check or a question to ask the seller. A listing that sold with flags may have answered them well in calls and due diligence that we never see. - "Marked sold by DATE" is the first weekly check in which Empire Flippers' public data showed that status. The marketplace does not publish the date of sale. - No sale prices. Empire Flippers publishes asking prices, not what buyers paid. We show the last asking price we saw and never estimate a sale price. - "No longer in the data" can mean sold, withdrawn or paused. We do not guess which. - We do not change a teardown's figures after the listing leaves the market; the teardown stays as it was read. ## The record ### Empire Flippers #92929 (https://firstpassmemo.com/teardowns/ef-92929-office-supply-amazon-fba-ecommerce/): Office Supply ecommerce business Listed with these flags, marked sold by 24 October 2026 (first seen in our check that day).

Yes. As of 25 October 2026, 3 of the 91 Empire Flippers listings we tore down were marked sold or pending sale, and 3 of those had at least one flag raised. A flag is a question for the seller, not a forecast that the business will not sell. ### Does FirstPass Memo know what these businesses sold for? No. Empire Flippers does not publish final sale prices, so we show only the last asking price we saw. ### How often is this page updated?
