To a Stamp Collector - nothing. A replica is just a copy; it's not the real thing, so it's basically worthless. As with anything, a product is worth just as much as someone is willing to pay for it. The problem is stamp collectors are more informed than the average person.
The only value these Gold Replicas have is that they are novelties. Companies sell them to people giving them the idea that they are worth money and that in the future they'll be worth lots more. The reality is that they have little to no value.
As for the value of the gold on them, the gold on those replicas is about one or two microns in thickness, that's just enough to cover the paper. So the value of gold on one stamp is a fraction of a fraction of a penny. Let's see - you could probably take over one hundred dollars worth of these "gold" replica stamps and not even get one penny's worth of gold off of them.
