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 12 of 37 (~32%) for quality reasons. The remaining 25 are what we'd actually surface.
- 7 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 3 shipped from a region we exclude
- 2 seller had too few feedback ratings
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Super Empire Strikes Back (SNES) 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 90 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 Super Empire Strikes Back (SNES) because they are: that's the noise.

Super Empire Strikes Back: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Release & product code: Super Empire Strikes Back is the second game in the Super Star Wars trilogy on the SNES, released in 1993. Sellers list it as "Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back", "Super Empire Strikes Back" or just "Empire Strikes Back SNES", and all three are the same cart. Check that the product code on the label matches the US release (NTSC-U/C), since that is what this page tracks.
- Don't confuse it with its siblings. Super Star Wars and Super Return of the Jedi are separate carts, and sellers often name more than one in a single title. Read the title and photos for the exact game before you buy; the feed filters out listings naming Return of the Jedi.
- Print variants: a different publisher logo can appear on the label and box depending on the print run. Sellers often note it in the title, and asking prices can differ, so compare like with like.
- Sealed copies: asking prices for sealed copies vary widely and often rest on a third-party grading claim. Judge them against the sealed chip, not against loose or CIB asks.
- Listing traps: manual-only, box-only and instruction-booklet listings that carry the full game title, and Japanese Super Famicom copies. Both appeared in the raw eBay results while tuning this feed.
Buying Super Nintendo games: what to check by condition
These checks apply to every Super Nintendo cartridge. The item notes above cover what is specific to this game.
Loose
- Compare the label, shell color and front/back markings against a photo of a known-authentic cart. Repro labels are often glossier, blurrier or slightly off-color.
- Ask for a photo of the board or the back of the cart. An opened shell is not automatically bad (battery swaps are normal), but it should be disclosed.
- If the game saves to a battery, ask whether the save holds. Old save batteries fail with age regardless of what the listing says, so budget for a replacement.
CIB (complete in box)
- Confirm the box, manual and inner tray or insert are all shown in the photos, not just listed in the title.
- Check that the box and manual are the same region and print as the cart. Mixed-and-matched "complete" copies are common.
- Box wear (crushing, tears, sticker residue) moves price far more than the cart does. Judge it from photos, not from the word "mint".
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.
