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 54 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 40 of 54 (~74%) for quality reasons. The remaining 14 are what we'd actually surface.
- 33 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 3 shipped from a region we exclude
- 1 caught by a junk-listing guard
- 1 priced below our floor (too good to be true)
- 1 priced above the curated ceiling
- 1 seller had too few feedback ratings
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Mega Man 5 (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 122 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 Mega Man 5 (NES) because they are: that's the noise.

Mega Man 5: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Saves: passwords, not a battery. A loose cart has no save battery to fail. Check that the product code on the label matches the US release.
- Print variants: sellers advertise "screw variant" and "three screw" carts, and graded listings sometimes note a variant on the label. We can't name the distinguishing marks with confidence, so rely on the grading label or a reference photo of a known-authentic copy, not the seller's title. Variant claims can push asking prices well above a standard copy.
- Same name, different game: the Japanese Famicom release, Rockman 5, is often listed with "NES" and "Mega Man 5" in the title. It is a different cart format that won't fit a US NES without an adapter.
- Fakes and hacks: a low-priced "Protoman Edition" listing turned up while tuning, a title not part of the original US release. Be wary of any asking price far under the going rate for a working cart.
- Pairs and runs: "Mega Man 1-6" and similar are multi-cart sales. For a neighbour on its own, see Mega Man 4, Mega Man 3 or Mega Man 2.
- Box-only and manual-only listings carry the full game title. Check the photos show a cartridge.

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.
