PALScout public beta

Check a game listing.

Paste a listing URL, text, or upload the gallery. RetroNomad now blocks explicit foreign releases and bundles from UK comparison buckets, distinguishes bonus demo discs from demo products, and keeps seller claims separate from gallery-confirmed evidence.

Listing details

Best results: clear photos of the back cover, spine, disc label and barcode.
Use your own RetroTechCollector developer key. It is kept only in this browser tab and is never committed to RetroNomad/GitHub.
Beta provider: RetroTechCollector. Prices are supplied in USD and converted to GBP using a daily central-bank reference rate. Incomplete/condition-specific copies remain manual because the provider exposes completeness buckets, not RetroNomad condition adjustments.
No saved reference loaded.
Manual fallback: enter a traceable reference you are permitted to use, or choose Personal target price. API keys belong only in the Automatic Pricing box above.
Analysis runs in your browser. URL import requests the public listing page directly from your browser; marketplaces may block that request.

Why

    Classification and Pricing v1 are evidence-dependent aids, not authenticity guarantees. Automatic pricing only uses a provider match when the release is Comparison-ready and the catalogue match is sufficiently strong.
    Reference library: 100 launch titles + identifier-level PALScout evidence.
