I'd like to offer up some SNES reproduction carts that I make. My process and workbench are very streamlined, allowing me to offer high quality for a very fair price, so I hope I can gather some interest here!
  • Using either new cartridges (by infiniteneslives, callanbrown, arcademaster1) or donor carts
  • When donor carts are used, internals are thoroughly cleaned and tested
  • Beautiful machine-cut labels. Boxes possible upon request if art is available.
  • No messy wiring, ever. I use adapter boards for all types of special-chip games (SFX, CX4, SA-1 etc.)
  • Always using 2015 production CR2032 batteries for games with savegame capability, and battery holder for easy replacement
  • Multi-game carts are offered if technically possible, for a minimal extra fee, e.g. MMX2+MMX3 for €45 or DKC1/2/3 for €35.
  • Any title available on request (no exceptions) with minimal turnaround time!
  • Shipping within Europe at €7

I sell on a Dutch craigslist kind of site and eBay but not nearly as much as I'd like to, so I'm branching out. Since I hope to obtain a reasonable feedback profile quickly I've priced everything as low as I consider worthwhile, but should you disagree on any of the prices, just say so, I'll consider every offer as long as it remains at least slightly profitable!

Enough with the words, here's a (non-exhaustive!) listing. Several pictures are outdated and will be updated soon.

Whether you're aware of it or not, making repros of legit games just stimulates the counterfeit/scammer market. Make homebrews or mods, but reproducing games that are/were commercially available is bullshit, and I wish nobody would ever do it again.

Would have expected that rule to be a sticky in the forum or something. Also, threads below appear to offer similar items but aren't reprimanded? Either way, I've removed the once commercially available titles from my list..

From a collectors' standpoint I get what you're saying. Availability of reproductions simply devaluates rare collector items. As a non-collector, this doesn't impair me. To be honest, I personally hate the idea of items that used to be a commodity now changing owner's for over 10x its original price, and not simply because people are dieing to play that amazing rare game, but mostly just to collect it.
But this is NA, and I do respect collectors ideals, so I will never even consider making someone a 100% real looking cart. I always leave at least a slight mark on the cartridge and put a sticky label on the PCB. I do not cater to people asking for my product to appear indistinguishable from the real deal. Instead, by offering a €30 Super Mario RPG cart I aim to facilitate the retro gaming desires of the common guy who wants to experience SM RPG without having to invest in a super famicom and 100$+ NTSC-U cartridge. Before you call bullshit on that, please realize that my pricing model absolutely supports this. They are very close to the bill of materials to produce them and you will find no correlation between collecting value and my pricing.

The problem is when your buyers pass them off as real.
Also, you'll notice that those games in other threads should also be homebrews/non region titles only.

If its not made to look like the exact item than there is no problem. Like what is stated in this thread its ppl who pass a repro item as an original if that doesnt happen no problem, and if the person does it then they get in trouble, right?

Honesty is the best policy!

To me it seems curious to expect from a seller to account for potentially less-than-honest intentions of their buyers. As a form of compromise you will find that my labels typically look like the original, but when put next to the real thing some easily spot differences will be revealed. Typically the placement of text or background color of one of the logos will be the easiest giveaway. Anything less subtle is just shooting yourself in the foot as a seller.

Mario RPG seems to go for about $70, and €30 is only about 20 GBP nowadays...

Its Euros not UK pounds, tell me you know what that is! 30 euro is about 32-33 usd these days (was around 45 usd at its highest). Very logical prices,and as long as they cant be relocated to the public as genuine carts there is no need to worry. I may be interested in a couple sfc exclusives,op will let you know.

Because you can't pass a multicart as a legit cart...Don't see how that is rocket science.
