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 9 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 4 of 9 (~44%) for quality reasons. The remaining 5 are what we'd actually surface.
- 2 caught by a junk-listing guard
- 2 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Lufia: The Ruins of Lore (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 96 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 Lufia: The Ruins of Lore (GBA) because they are: that's the noise.

Lufia: The Ruins of Lore: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Release: Atlus published the US version for Game Boy Advance in 2003. Check that the product code on the cartridge label matches the US release.
- Saves: don't rely on a seller's claim about the save either way. Ask for a photo of a working save file.
- Print variants: compare the label and back of the cart against a known authentic photo instead of trusting a seller's "first print" claim.
- Not the SNES games: the Lufia name is shared with the Super Nintendo titles, such as Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals and Lufia & the Fortress of Doom. Check that the listing says Game Boy Advance and "Ruins of Lore".
- Paper-only listings: manual-only and registration-card-only listings turn up under this title with the game's name in full. The feed drops them, but read any "complete" claim against the photos.
- Sealed and graded copies: these list far above loose asking prices. Compare the grade and seal condition across several listings before treating one as 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.
