It's the same game

Even Diablo I will still install - but you need to download a patch to 
access battle.net

Starcraft is a more recent game than that.

However, buying a copy off e-bay runs some risk that your key will be in 
use - rendering your purchase pointless.   I wouldn't take the risk - 
just buy it at the store.   Only original starcraft has a key - you 
don't have to worry about a key for broodwar.
