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 20 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 9 of 20 (~45%) for quality reasons. The remaining 11 are what we'd actually surface.
- 7 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 2 seller had too few feedback ratings
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Phantasy Star IV (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 100 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 Phantasy Star IV (Genesis) because they are: that's the noise.

Phantasy Star IV: collector & reseller spec sheet
Sega released Phantasy Star IV for the Genesis in North America. It's one of the most sought-after RPGs on the system, so asking prices run well above a typical Genesis cart.
- Save mechanism. Battery-backed save. The original cell is 30 years old, and listings saying "drained battery" or "new battery" are common. Budget for a battery swap whatever the seller claims, and check that the label and box match the US Genesis release.
- Japanese Mega Drive copies from US sellers. The Japanese release carries the subtitle "The End of the Millennium" and asks far less. US-based sellers list it with "US Seller" in the title, so read past the shipping location. The feed drops Mega Drive and Japanese copies.
- Multicarts and paper. Bootleg 218-in-1 multicarts, official strategy guides and empty replacement shells all get listed under the game's full title, the guides at cart-level prices. The feed excludes them, but check the photos show an actual Phantasy Star IV 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.
