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 106 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 95 of 106 (~90%) for quality reasons. The remaining 11 are what we'd actually surface.
- 94 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 1 priced above the curated ceiling
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Donkey Kong Jr. (NES) 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 113 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 Donkey Kong Jr. (NES) because they are: that's the noise.

Donkey Kong Jr.: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Release and save: Nintendo's NES port of the arcade game, released in the US in 1986. It has no save feature, so there is no save battery to fail.
- Shell variants: listings in this feed describe both "5-screw" and "3-screw" cartridge shells, and sellers ask far more for the 3-screw shell. That label is the seller's claim. Ask for photos of the back of the cart and compare them against a known authentic example before paying a variant premium.
- Box and print variants: CIB listings often mention a hangtab box, a black box, a sleeve or a foam tab, and graded copies are listed at much higher asking prices than raw ones. A graded or "first print" label in a title is the seller's description, not proof of a premium. Check the grading company's cert number yourself.
- Lookalike titles: Donkey Kong Jr. Math is a separate NES cartridge. The two-in-one Donkey Kong Classics pack also carries "DK Jr" in its titles. The feed filters both, but check the label if a listing's photos look unfamiliar.
- Listing trap: manual-only and e-Reader card listings use the full game name and a low asking price. Confirm the cartridge itself is in the photos.
Buying NES games: what to check by condition
These checks apply to every NES 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.
