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 20 of 55 (~36%) for quality reasons. The remaining 35 are what we'd actually surface.
- 10 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 4 seller had too few feedback ratings
- 3 caught by a junk-listing guard
- 1 shipped from a region we exclude
- 1 priced below our floor (too good to be true)
- 1 seller positive-feedback percentage too low
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (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 103 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 Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (DS) because they are: that's the noise.

Partners in Time: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Release and code: the US release is the 2005 Nintendo DS RPG from AlphaDream, and listings commonly quote the cart code as
NTR-ARME-USA. Check that the label code matches the US release before paying a premium. - Save mechanism: it saves to the cartridge's own save memory, so there is no replaceable battery to budget for. Still ask for a tested-with-save-and-load confirmation.
- Prints: an original retail print and later reprints may exist, but we can't name a reliable identifying mark. Don't pay extra for a seller's unverified "rare print" claim; compare against photos of a known authentic copy.
- Sibling games: this is the second game in the series. The GBA original is Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and the DS follow-up is Bowser's Inside Story. Titles that name more than one of them are usually lots, and the feed rejects them.
- Listing traps seen while tuning: generic "Game Card for 3DS / NDSi" listings, "copy made for" wording, and Korean or European-language copies sold under the same English title. All are filtered. "Partners in Time DS" sellers also often tag "3DS" in titles; the cart is the same DS card.
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.
