Hello! I dug up a copy of the famiclone in my house the other day. I looked in google and came across an ebay ad with a very exaggerated price. In this connection, I wanted to find out the real price of what I have.
I also noticed some differences:
 - the power button is not the same as on snes - it is a button, not a slider
 - the board inside is very different from the one on this video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=am_5iyKaNPw), but the marking on the board is Cosmo Tech.
Maybe someone knows why my famiclone is different from what usually flashes on the net? How rare is this model and what is its real average cost?

Your console just appears to be a later revision/print with a NoAC rather than discrete, separate, CPU and PPU.
It's not a rare clone but people like it due to its Super Nintendo appearance. I can't really give a fair price on it. Put it on offer on ebay or here and see what you get. The fact you found video recordings of it, an ebay listing and other reference is proof of that. I just checked the ebay listing and the only thing the seller can do is write rare in all caps. That says it all.

Thank you very much for your answer! Most likely I will do as you said - put it on ebay.

I also found two box variants, but both showed the slider button rather than a press button. So it definitely had a "fair" print than some of the rarer clone there such as the Joymax.
