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 31 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 22 of 31 (~71%) for quality reasons. The remaining 9 are what we'd actually surface.
- 16 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 6 shipped from a region we exclude
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Shadow Dancer (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 93 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 Shadow Dancer (Genesis) because they are: that's the noise.

Shadow Dancer: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Not its neighbours. Shadow Dancer is a separate game from The Revenge of Shinobi and Shinobi III. Sellers sometimes name several Shinobi games in one title, so confirm the listing is for this one.
- Print variants. An original retail print and a later budget "Sega Classics" reprint both appear in listings. Original-print complete copies generally ask more, but check the product code and photos rather than trusting a "rare" label.
- Title-only traps. Box-only, manual-only and custom-case listings carry the full game name, as do Master System and multicart "4 in 1" listings that borrow the Shadow Dancer title. Check what is actually shipping before comparing against a cartridge price.
- Region. Mega Drive and Japanese copies are not a US Genesis cart; this page tracks US Genesis copies only.
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.
