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 97 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 69 of 97 (~71%) for quality reasons. The remaining 28 are what we'd actually surface.
- 58 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 5 caught by a junk-listing guard
- 3 seller had too few feedback ratings
- 1 priced above the curated ceiling
- 1 shipped from a region we exclude
- 1 priced below our floor (too good to be true)
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Ecco the Dolphin (Genesis) 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 Ecco the Dolphin (Genesis) because they are: that's the noise.

Ecco the Dolphin: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Release & save: the original Ecco the Dolphin launched on Genesis in 1992. Progress is carried between sessions by passwords rather than a save battery, so a working cart needs no battery check. Check that the product code on the label matches the US release.
- Print variants: an early-run retail print and later reprints exist, and sellers sometimes advertise a "first print" or "rare" copy. Asking prices on those claims run well above ordinary copies, so ask for a clear label and back-of-cart photo before paying a premium.
- Sealed and graded copies: these sit in a different price tier from every other condition. Treat a graded or factory-sealed listing as its own market, not a comparison point for loose carts.
- Look-alikes in the feed's search results:
- The sequel, Ecco: The Tides of Time, shares most of the title text, and sellers often list the two together.
- Ecco Jr. is a separate game with a similar name.
- A Sega CD version of the original also exists, so read the platform line, not just the title.
- Listing trap: a few listings are just a case, manual or cover art for the game. Read the full title for "case only" or "manual only" before assuming you are buying the cartridge.
Buying Sega Genesis games: what to check by condition
These checks apply to every Sega Genesis 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.
