GameID Confirmation Guide: Difference between revisions

While this may theoretically be a good source of IDs, in many cases certain titles just might not have high quality cover scans publicly available. If a cover scan for a title cannot be acquired using normal sources (GameFAQs, GameTDB, [https://www.mobygames.com/ MobyGames], etc.), [http://www.ebay.com/ eBay] is another possible option. A lot of listings use high resolutions pictures of both sides of the title's box or the disc, from which the ID prefix can be obtained. By knowing the regions of a title's release, region-specific eBays can be used to further narrow the search; for example, there's an [http://www.ebay.com.au Australian eBay], a [http://www.ebay.co.uk/ British eBay], a [http://www.ebay.de/ German eBay], and a [http://www.tradera.com/ Swedish eBay called Tradera], among others. Since these are not databases, keep in mind listings will come and go and results may vary, so results may be hit or miss. Note also that for the best results it's more effective to use the name of the title in the language of the region, which can be obtained from GameTDB or Redump. Below is a chart listing online auction sites in various countries for convenience.
