The best way to tell is to do your research. Search Amazon. Go to bookstores and look for books like it. I am working on one right now that is unique. The publisher wants it YESTERDAY because it doesn't exist and there is a definite need for it and it has very big potential. How did I discover this idea? By observing people, thinking of books that they might read, then spending hours on my hands and knees in Barnes and Noble and Borders looking for similar books and more hours online searching. When I couldn't find any, I knew I had something. A teleconference with the publisher I ghostwrite for confirmed it. Until the book is on the shelves, it stays in my head only. Don't share your ideas with anybody - not even if they ask nicely. Pax - C

Try this: Write down a really tight description of the main idea of your story. Keep shaping it and reshaping it so that each person who hears it (for the first time) knows exactly what the story is about from a few sentences.
Next, find stories like the one you want to write. Then, read reviewers and what they have to say about the books. THEY are the ultimate audience. Know the critics and you'll know what's good and what's not.
Write your story in some way that suits you. Story boards maybe, plot circle, index cards, dry-erase-white-boards, cartoons, poems, lists...just get core of the story down.
Here are the questions that might occur to you while you write:
* Is this a character-driven story, or an action driven story?*
* Are your characters realistic, or exaggerated?
* What's the plot?
* Who will read your genre and what do they want from a story?
* Who is the best author in your genre? What makes them the best?
* What kind of organization or structure will you use, time, action sequences. (How about a list of things a person wants to do before they die?)
* What do you want to be special in your story?
* Who is your main character? What's so darned special about them?
* Who is your narrator? Is he or she going to hate or admire the other characters, or will she be completely unbiased and objective? Is the narrator going to be a self-conscious representation of your ideals, morals, thoughts and feelings?
Write your story twice as long as it needs to be and cut out all the crap until you find the core story.

I had a great one hit me recently but I'm keeping it to myself. It's the kind of thing that makes me wish I could write 8hrs a day instead of working! Well, writing is work but not in the same way.

Yes, but the story about the kids attending a magic school has already been exploited to death.
