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 115 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 52 of 115 (~45%) for quality reasons. The remaining 63 are what we'd actually surface.
- 42 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 wrong condition (e.g. parts-only)
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Rad Racer (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 102 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 Rad Racer (NES) because they are: that's the noise.

Rad Racer: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Release: Square's 1987 NES racing game, published by Nintendo in North America. The feed tracks the US (NTSC-U/C) release only.
- Save mechanism: none. There is no save battery, so there is nothing to replace.
- Product code: check that the label's product code matches the US release. Listings that print it, such as NES-RC-USA, are easy to compare against a known authentic photo.
- Print variants: listings sometimes advertise cartridge or label variants. Those labels are seller claims, so compare the label and shell against a known authentic photo before paying extra.
- 3D glasses: the complete-in-box version is sold with a pair of red/blue 3D glasses. Many "CIB" listings say "no glasses", so read the title for it, because a copy with the glasses asks more than one without.
- Don't confuse with Rad Racer II: the sequel shares the title words and often appears in the same searches. The feed rejects titles that name the sequel, but double-check a listing whose photos show a different cartridge than the title says.
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.
