Repro carts are nothing new either. There is an actually site out their selling service of "restoring" snes games. They take your game and "transfer" it into a repro cart, complete with flash chip designed to emulate the save battery. For the most part you can't tell the difference between the "restored" game and an brand new official game cart. For a little extra they'll even print you an instruction and make you a new box for it.
Personally I find it a neat little idea. However ever since I found this info out, I have to question how many of those never opened games on ebay are really repros.
