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 13 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 8 of 13 (~62%) for quality reasons. The remaining 5 are what we'd actually surface.
- 3 shipped from a region we exclude
- 3 caught by a junk-listing guard
- 2 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for R-Type DX (Game Boy Color) 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 95 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 R-Type DX (Game Boy Color) because they are: that's the noise.

R-Type DX: collector & reseller spec sheet
- What it is: R-Type DX is a 1999 Game Boy Color release from Irem. Check that the product code on the label matches the US release, not a Japanese or European one.
- Region traps: The Japanese release is a separate, usually pricier import, and it is easy to confuse with the US cart in a search. The feed drops listings that mention Japan, NTSC-J or the Japanese product code, and any listing located in Japan. European (PAL) copies are also filtered out.
- Print variants: This page doesn't track print variants. Ask the seller for a photo of the label and back of the cart rather than relying on the title.
- Authenticity: Look for the Nintendo security screw on the back of the cart. A Phillips-head screw means the cart has been opened or is a reshell or bootleg. Compare the label and board against a known authentic photo before paying a premium price.
- Sealed and graded: Graded or sealed listings can ask far above the loose and complete range, so the feed leaves the ceiling off sealed copies. Check the grading cert number with the grader before you pay.
Buying Game Boy games: what to check by condition
These checks apply to every Game Boy 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 inner tray or insert 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.
