I know this is easy for me to say, but please don't let this get you down. I've seen many others complain about the same thing happening. My suggestion would be for you to offer your similar item at a lower price, if possible. Ideally, this will work as a competitive strategy ... the increased sales due to your lower price should help offset any losses incurred by asking for less than you'd originally wanted to. If you feel you can't do that, go ahead and make your best effort. Do great job with the promotion. Competition is healthy, and truly unique items are rare in our community, despite the virtual glut of Poser items available. If your item is of competitive quality and value, you will be able to sell it. I might also suggest that if you decide to come out with future products, keep very quiet about them until you're getting close to release time. There's been a noticable increase in copycat items lately. I'm sure some of that is pure coincidence, but it wouldn't surprise me if some of it is just a nasty reality of the market. But since uncopyrighted ideas are fair game, it's the risk merchants take. Good luck to you!
