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 377 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 334 of 377 (~89%) for quality reasons. The remaining 43 are what we'd actually surface.
- 247 missing a required keyword group (e.g. completeness / authenticity)
- 43 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 26 shipped from a region we exclude
- 8 seller had too few feedback ratings
- 5 priced above the curated ceiling
- 4 seller positive-feedback percentage too low
- 1 caught by a junk-listing guard
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Chrono Trigger (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 104 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 Chrono Trigger (DS) because they are: that's the noise.

Chrono Trigger DS: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Release and code. Square Enix's DS port released in North America in 2008. A US copy carries a product code ending in
USA; Japanese copies carry a different regional suffix. The DS is region-free, so a Japanese cart will boot on a US handheld but is a different (and differently priced) item. This feed excludes Japanese listings. - Save. The game saves to the cartridge itself. Ask sellers to confirm a save file loads rather than relying on "tested" alone.
- Poster. Many complete listings mention a poster in the box. Whether one is included changes the asking price, so check the seller's photos instead of the title alone. The feed does not filter on it, so complete copies with and without a poster both show up.
- Print variants. Sellers advertise "first print" on sealed and complete copies. We can't give a reliable identifying mark for it here, so treat the phrase as a seller claim and compare against photos of a known authentic copy before paying a premium.
- Not the SNES game. The 16-bit original has its own page: Chrono Trigger (SNES). The PlayStation Final Fantasy Chronicles disc also contains Chrono Trigger and turns up in the same searches.
- Listing traps. Case-and-manual-only or manual-only listings are priced like a game but contain no cartridge; read the title for "no game" or "case only". Graded sealed copies list far above ordinary asking prices.
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.
