How we filter

Every feed has its own filter, tuned by hand for this one game. Before any change goes live, those filters are tested against thousands of real eBay listing titles. Every night, each feed is checked against every other deal page in its category, so a listing for a different game that slips in gets flagged and fixed instead of quietly shown.

Of the 193 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 90 of 193 (~47%) for quality reasons. The remaining 103 are what we'd actually surface.

  • 68 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
  • 12 seller had too few feedback ratings
  • 6 shipped from a region we exclude
  • 2 caught by a junk-listing guard
  • 1 wrong condition (e.g. parts-only)
  • 1 seller positive-feedback percentage too low

What the feed excludes

An eBay search for Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS) returns far more than the game itself: controllers, T-shirts, strategy guides, imports and repro carts all mention it in their titles. These are the 106 terms we filter out to keep this feed to the real thing. A listing whose title contains any of them never reaches the feed, the price table or an alert. Many look unrelated to Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS) because they are: that's the noise.

Animal Crossing: Wild World: collector & reseller spec sheet

  • Product code & saving. The US cartridge carries the code NTR-ADME-USA; sellers quote it in titles, so it is a quick check that you are looking at the US release. The game saves to the cartridge itself.
  • Print variants. Sellers advertise "1st print" sealed copies at a premium, but we can't name a reliable mark that separates print runs, so ask for photos of the back of the box and compare with a known-authentic copy before paying extra for it. Treat the claim as unverified until the seller shows it.
  • Don't confuse it with the GameCube original. The 2002 GameCube game is a separate title with its own page: Animal Crossing. Later series entries on 3DS and Wii are different games; the feed filters most of them out, but read the title before you click.
  • Listing traps. Asking-price outliers on this title are usually sealed copies, so check the seller's feedback and photos before paying a sealed premium. Sellers also list case-and-manual-only items and empty boxes under the game's name. Cheap "Game Card for NDS 3DS" style listings with generic wording are worth a second look: ask the seller for photos of the actual cartridge's label and product code.

Buying Nintendo DS games: what to check by condition

These checks apply to every Nintendo DS cartridge. The item notes above cover what is specific to this game.

Loose

  • Compare the label, shell color and front/back markings against a photo of a known-authentic cart. Repro labels are often glossier, blurrier or slightly off-color.
  • Ask for a photo of the board or the back of the cart. An opened shell is not automatically bad (battery swaps are normal), but it should be disclosed.
  • If the game saves to a battery, ask whether the save holds. Old save batteries fail with age regardless of what the listing says, so budget for a replacement.

CIB (complete in box)

  • Confirm the box, manual and plastic case and cover art are all shown in the photos, not just listed in the title.
  • Check that the box and manual are the same region and print as the cart. Mixed-and-matched "complete" copies are common.
  • Box wear (crushing, tears, sticker residue) moves price far more than the cart does. Judge it from photos, not from the word "mint".

Sealed & graded

  • For a graded copy, look the certification number up on the grading company's own site and confirm the photos match the slab you are buying.
  • For an ungraded sealed copy, compare the wrap and seal pattern against a known factory-sealed example. Resealing is common, and a reseal on a loose game is worth a loose price.
  • Ask for photos of every side, the seams and any price stickers. Refusing extra photos on a sealed listing is a red flag on its own.
