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 108 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 91 of 108 (~84%) for quality reasons. The remaining 17 are what we'd actually surface.
- 81 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 7 caught by a junk-listing guard
- 1 seller had too few feedback ratings
- 1 wrong condition (e.g. parts-only)
- 1 seller positive-feedback percentage too low
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Scribblenauts (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 Scribblenauts (DS) because they are: that's the noise.

Scribblenauts: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Release: the original Scribblenauts is the 2009 Warner Bros. release for Nintendo DS. A DS game is a small game card, not a full-size cartridge, so "cartridge only" and "loose" mean the bare card.
- Don't confuse it with the sequel. Super Scribblenauts (2010) is a separate DS game and is listed under almost the same title. Scribblenauts Unlimited and Unmasked are 3DS/Wii U titles; the feed filters all of these, but check the title on any listing you open from elsewhere.
- Region: this page tracks US copies. Check that the listing says US or NTSC-U/C, and be wary of Japanese and overseas copies sold under the plain "Scribblenauts" name.
- Print variants: no reprint tiers are tracked here; value differences come mainly from completeness (case, manual) and condition.
- Listing traps: empty replacement cases, rental cases, manual-only and multi-game lots all use this title. Confirm the game card is actually included, and that a "Scribblenauts" listing isn't the sequel.
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.
