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 1468 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 1448 of 1468 (~99%) for quality reasons. The remaining 20 are what we'd actually surface.
- 1423 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 14 shipped from a region we exclude
- 6 caught by a junk-listing guard
- 2 wrong condition (e.g. parts-only)
- 1 priced above the curated ceiling
- 1 seller positive-feedback percentage too low
- 1 seller had too few feedback ratings
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Mega Man (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 169 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 Mega Man (NES) because they are: that's the noise.

Mega Man: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Release & save: Capcom's original Mega Man reached North America on the NES in 1987. It has no save feature, so there is no save battery to replace or to ask about.
- Print variants: Check the product code on the label matches the US release. We saw no reliable way to tell reprints apart from titles alone, so compare the label and box photos against a known authentic copy before paying a premium for a "first print".
- Misprint claims: Some CIB listings advertise a misprint on the box or paperwork and ask well above ordinary CIB prices. Treat the claim as unproven until the seller shows clear photos of the exact spot, and compare it with other photos of the same box.
- Name collisions: Plain "Mega Man" is the name of the whole franchise, so sellers use it for sequels, Famicom "Rockman" imports and multi-game sets. The feed requires "Mega Man" in the title and drops sequel numbers, Famicom, Japanese and lot wording. Confirm from the photos that the cart is the first game, not a sequel with a vague title.
- Missing context: A bare "Mega Man NES" cart listing with no photos of the label is a coin flip between games. Ask for a label photo before buying.

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.
