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 55 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 27 of 55 (~49%) for quality reasons. The remaining 28 are what we'd actually surface.

  • 19 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
  • 4 caught by a junk-listing guard
  • 2 seller had too few feedback ratings
  • 1 priced above the curated ceiling
  • 1 seller positive-feedback percentage too low

What the feed excludes

An eBay search for Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (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 Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (DS) because they are: that's the noise.

Shadow Dragon: collector & reseller spec sheet

  • Which game this is. Shadow Dragon is the Nintendo DS remake of the first Fire Emblem, a game that originally shipped only in Japan. Its DS sequel, New Mystery of the Emblem, is a separate title. Listings that bundle the two are dropped from the feed, so each price stays tied to one game.
  • Save mechanism. Progress saves to the cartridge itself, so a cart-only copy should be tested for saving as well as booting. Ask the seller to confirm a save was made and reloaded.
  • Japanese and PAL copies. The Japanese release is Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi, and Japanese carts regularly list under the English title with a Japanese product code in the text. PAL copies (European or Australian) also list under the same name. Check that the label and product code on a US copy match the US release.
  • Print variants. No separate budget reprint is documented here, so don't pay a premium on a seller's "rare print" claim without a photo of the marking.
  • Strategy guides and promo items. Official guides and a promotional laser cel sell under this title but contain no game. The feed drops them, so a very cheap listing that shows up elsewhere is usually one of these.

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.
