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 373 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 311 of 373 (~83%) for quality reasons. The remaining 62 are what we'd actually surface.
- 247 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 21 priced below our floor (too good to be true)
- 19 caught by a junk-listing guard
- 13 shipped from a region we exclude
- 7 seller had too few feedback ratings
- 2 seller positive-feedback percentage too low
- 1 wrong condition (e.g. parts-only)
- 1 priced above the curated ceiling
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Ape Escape (PS1) 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 109 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 Ape Escape (PS1) because they are: that's the noise.

Ape Escape: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Release & saves. Ape Escape launched on PlayStation in North America in 1999. It saves to a PS1 memory card; there is no on-disc battery to fail. Check that the product code on the disc and back cover matches the US (NTSC-U/C) release.
- Controller. The game is built around the dual analog sticks, so a copy listed as "tested" should have been run with a DualShock or analog controller.
- Print variants. An original black-label print and a later Greatest Hits budget reprint both circulate, and sellers use "Black Label" and "Greatest Hits" as search terms. Compare asking prices within the same print and completeness, not across them.
- Listing traps.
- The PS2 sequels, the PSP games and the PS3 re-releases share the name and fill search results. Read the full title and check the photos show a PS1 disc.
- Demo discs and promo copies carry the Ape Escape name but are not the retail game.
- Japanese Saru Get You copies and PAL copies turn up under the same name; confirm the NTSC-U/C code.
Buying PlayStation games: what to check by condition
These checks apply to every PlayStation 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.
