EVGA RTX 3070 FTW3 Ultra, no display output
1 of 5 guard fires on this title. An alert profile with any one of them switched on would never notify its owner about this listing.
For parts, broken or not working
An alert profile with the "For parts, broken or not working" guard on would skip this listing because its eBay condition is "For parts or not working", regardless of what the title says.
Matched eBay condition: For parts or not working
Reads as for parts or not working. The strongest negative claim wins, so a title that says both "brand new" and "for parts" lands here. Decided by wording in the title.
Computers & PC parts vocabulary: Used / Refurbished / New / Parts / Not working / Unknown. This is the bucket our deal pages file the listing under.

A guard is a curated list of title phrases that mark a listing as something other than the working item a buyer searched for. A CresvaMent alert profile switches one on with a single toggle instead of maintaining its own exclude list, and because the phrase lists live in one place, a new seller phrasing is fixed once for every profile using that guard. There are 5 guards today, and the checker above runs all of them whatever category you pick:
| Guard | What it catches |
|---|---|
| Box-only and photo-only listings | Empty boxes and "photo of the card" listings priced like the real thing. |
| For parts, broken or not working | Listings marked for parts, as-is, faulty, or with no display output. |
| Mining rigs, lots and full PCs | Whole mining rigs, multi-card lots, display-less mining cards (P106, CMP) and complete systems. |
| Laptop and mobile GPUs | Laptop chips share desktop model names but are much slower. Turn this off when tracking SSDs. |
| Locked or incomplete computers | iCloud/activation-locked, MDM-enrolled or BIOS-locked machines, and ones sold without their SSD or RAM. |
The lists are deliberately conservative. They run on people's own alerts, so anything with a common honest reading ("untested", "read description", a bare "mining") is left out, and disclaimers such as "no artifacting" or "not broken" are recognised rather than punished. Short words like "lot" only match as whole words, so "lots of fun" is not a lot. If you are a seller, the fix is usually just to drop the phrase from the title, or, if the phrase is true, to accept that filtered alerts are not your buyer.
