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 98 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 82 of 98 (~84%) for quality reasons. The remaining 16 are what we'd actually surface.
- 69 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 4 shipped from a region we exclude
- 4 priced below our floor (too good to be true)
- 2 seller had too few feedback ratings
- 1 priced above the curated ceiling
- 1 wrong condition (e.g. parts-only)
- 1 seller positive-feedback percentage too low
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Star Ocean: The Second Story (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 106 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 Star Ocean: The Second Story (PS1) because they are: that's the noise.

Star Ocean: The Second Story: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Release and save. Enix published the US PS1 release in 1999. It ships on two discs, and progress saves to a PlayStation memory card. A "complete" copy should hold both discs, the case and the manual, so check the listing photos show disc 1 and disc 2.
- Print variants. An original-run print and a later Black Label budget-line print both turn up in listings. Sellers often mention Black Label in the title; the original print is generally the one collectors ask more for, so compare like with like when judging an asking price.
- Listing traps.
- Disc-only and "Discs 1 & 2 only" listings sit alongside full copies. The two-disc pairing is easy to misread in a short title, so confirm both discs and the case are included before treating a low price as a loose-copy deal.
- The 2023 remake, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, has a near-identical title. This page tracks the original PS1 release only.
- Strategy guides share the full game title and are common in searches.
- Sealed copies command a large premium over opened ones, so check that sealed listings show clear photos of the shrink wrap.
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.
