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 37 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 10 of 37 (~27%) for quality reasons. The remaining 27 are what we'd actually surface.

  • 10 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword

What the feed excludes

An eBay search for Thunder Force V (Saturn) 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 92 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 Thunder Force V (Saturn) because they are: that's the noise.

Thunder Force V: collector & reseller spec sheet

  • Japan-only release. Thunder Force V is a Technosoft shooter that came out on the Saturn in Japan only, so every real copy is an NTSC-J import. This page tracks those import copies; there is no US release to hold out for.
  • Editions. Listings show several editions: the standard release, a "Special Pack" that adds extras, and the budget "SataKore" / "Satacolle" reissue. They carry different product codes on the label and ask different prices, so check that the code matches the edition the seller advertises. Special Pack asking prices generally run above the plain disc, and a Special Pack missing its extras is just the standard game at a higher price.
  • Obi, spine card and registration card. Sellers often list the spine card and registration card separately in the title. Those pieces are what separate a complete copy from a disc in a case, so look for them in the photos.
  • Listing traps. Sample or demo discs and magazine promo discs that mention the title, plus paper flyers, show up under the same name. Check that the item is the full game and not one of those.
  • Region. Saturn consoles are region-locked, and this is a Japanese disc. Make sure you can play imports before buying.

Buying Sega Saturn games: what to check by condition

These checks apply to every Sega Saturn disc. The item notes above cover what is specific to this game.

Loose (disc only)

  • Ask for a clear photo of the data side under light. Light surface scratches usually play; deep or circular scratches often don't.
  • Check the label art and the printing in the center ring against a known-authentic disc. Burned copies and reprinted labels are the main fakes.
  • "Resurfaced" means the disc was polished. It is usually fine to play but worth less to collectors.

CIB (complete in case)

  • Confirm the case, front art and manual are all shown, and that the art matches the disc's region.
  • Cracked cases are cheap to replace; missing or reprinted cover art and manuals are what cost money.
  • For multi-disc games, make sure every disc is pictured.

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.
