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 49 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 30 of 49 (~61%) for quality reasons. The remaining 19 are what we'd actually surface.
- 19 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 5 seller had too few feedback ratings
- 3 shipped from a region we exclude
- 1 priced above the curated ceiling
- 1 priced below our floor (too good to be true)
- 1 caught by a junk-listing guard
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (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 116 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 Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (DS) because they are: that's the noise.

Portrait of Ruin: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Game card, not a disc. Portrait of Ruin is a Nintendo DS game card, and "cartridge only" or "game only" means a loose card. Confirm the label is intact and the seller says tested.
- US copies only. Look for the NTSC-U/C marking on the label or box. Japanese releases (sold as Akumajo Dracula: Gallery of Labyrinth) and PAL copies price differently and the feed leaves them out.
- Print variants. Sellers don't reliably say which print they have. Compare photos of the box front and card label against a known copy before paying a premium.
- Multi-game cards. A single "Game Card" listing naming Portrait of Ruin alongside Dawn of Sorrow and Order of Ecclesia appears at a fraction of a real copy's asking price. Treat a card claiming several games as a reproduction.
- Promo packs and extras. Titles mentioning a "20th Anniversary" pack or preorder bonus are promo items, not the retail game. The feed drops the ones it can read.
- Same-console sibling: Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow.
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.
