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 13 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 3 of 13 (~23%) for quality reasons. The remaining 10 are what we'd actually surface.
- 3 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Sword of Vermilion (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 97 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 Sword of Vermilion (Genesis) because they are: that's the noise.

Sword of Vermilion: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Save mechanism: an action RPG with a battery-backed save. Like any cart of this age, the original save battery may be dead, so a "tested, saves" claim is worth more than "tested, boots". Check that the product code on the label matches the US release.
- Hint book: sellers often list copies "with hint book". That is a separate printed guide, not part of the standard box contents, and it commonly pushes the asking price well above a plain complete copy. Compare like with like: "CIB" and "CIB + hint book" are different price tiers.
- Print variants: a retail print and later reprints may exist, but we can't name the distinguishing marks with confidence. Ask for label and back-of-cart photos rather than trusting a "first print" claim.
- Listing traps:
- Many sellers spell it "Vermillion" (double L). The feed matches both spellings.
- Manual-only, hint-book-only, box-art-only and case-only listings are common and priced close to a cart. The feed filters the ones that say so in the title.
- Check the photos and description for condition notes such as a cut UPC, which affects collector value.
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.
