That's horrible.
Though I'm morbidly amused by the fact that I can't even afford fake AES carts.

Maybe this will amuse you?

Four 1:1 externally speaking N64 bootlegs. Inside, full size boards with chips and the works, no cheapness look to the things. They cost $67 though, was over 80 a week ago. Harvest Moon is a joke at that level, but Sculptors Cut, Worms and Bomberman Second Attack really slice the cost.

If by amused you mean disgusted, then yeah, spot on. Thing is w/N64 bootlegs, there currently isn't any point. There are only 4-5 games near the $100 mark, and only Conker's / Bomberman 2nd are valuable due to play value (and some rarity).
Worms, Sculptor's, ISS 2000 are straight up rarity - I have to hope that demand for those games as bootlegs is very very low.
The SNES / AES bootlegs are of actual good games.

Re: Reproductions: What is our community ok with?
No I'm honestly not disgusted at all with it. I see it eventually being a viable alternative if someone wants a physical one off game, but not having to blow 3 figures on it.
At the current price though it's too much, would need to drop by nearly half I think to be tempting. What I found amusing was that it existed and the fact looking at the board there, they are trying to run off something of respectable quality which is only recent out of bootlegs I've come across on or offline.
I agree though with you that Bomberman and Conker's have a justifiably higher value because of what the game does and the quality with it, and the others like that terrible Clayfighter game does not, nor does ISS, Worms that's kind of a toss up how addicted to that series you are. I think for now the demand is low, no hoping on that. N64 hasn't rocketed like SNES and NES has, easily explained by lack of general interest since it was on the outs and the PS1 was the thing then so most people have memories of it. I would imagine once they show up in mass and more titles along with those and the costs are cheap enough, like $30ish or so, they'd pick up in interest for those aware they exist.
And yes the boots of SNES and AES games are very understandable as much of them aren't just the rares, it's usually the very good stuff that's just been priced out of honest gamers hands by collectors and flippers so there's a good reasoned market on those.
