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 41 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 14 of 41 (~34%) for quality reasons. The remaining 27 are what we'd actually surface.
- 5 seller had too few feedback ratings
- 4 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 2 shipped from a region we exclude
- 1 seller positive-feedback percentage too low
- 1 caught by a junk-listing guard
- 1 priced below our floor (too good to be true)
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising (GBA) 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 99 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 Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising (GBA) because they are: that's the noise.

Advance Wars 2: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Product code and saves. Black Hole Rising is the 2003 US sequel to Advance Wars. Check that the product code on the label matches the US release, and ask the seller to confirm the cart holds a save. Cells that old routinely fail, so budget for a battery swap whatever the listing says.
- Print variants. Whether a later reprint exists, and how it affects price, isn't something we can state with confidence. Ask for a clear photo of the label and back of the cart before paying extra for any variant claim.
- "1 & 2" listings. Sellers often title copies "Advance Wars 1 & 2" or sell the pair as a lot, and the asking price reflects both games or an unclear item. The feed drops listings naming the first game alongside this one, so you see single-game copies of Black Hole Rising.
- Manual and box-only listings. Title-matching "manual only", "box only" and "no game" listings turn up under this name. They are filtered out, so a low-priced CIB that mentions a missing cart is not a deal.
Buying Game Boy Advance games: what to check by condition
These checks apply to every Game Boy Advance 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.
