No offense tikifish but why sell them? Why not just give them away? I'm glad you don't need the money, but other people do. I've heard that line before. "I do it cause I love it". Whatever, thats great, but alot of artists make art to make a living. They still love doing it but you gotta get cash somehow. I don't believe you can call yourself a professional artist till you have to make money off your work. And if you don't care about the money then why are you complaining about how much your pieces sell for???? If you upset that these copies are selling for as much as your art, then why not ask for more??? Art is in the eye of the beholder, as with anything in life. Someone may like the copycats work more than yours. Either way let it go and worry about your own art, not someone elses.
