The average would be about $30 per sale (the Amiibos being the high end at $50 and the signed pictures the low end at $10. Probably does not average out... oh well).
So about 235 sales as of writing this so maybe he made ~$7500.
Based on the amount of shit he had to buy maybe he turned a profit of $1000 - $1500. But like @Marvin keeps saying, Chris enjoys making them so good thing he is not in it for the profit.
And if he is in it for the profit, well... best of luck, buddy.

I think he is in it for the profit, and isn't seeing as much as he'd like, hence the begging for free shit and saying self-pitying things like "my mother and I have trouble making ends meet".
i wonder how this affects his tugboat
cause someone on that cant make more than $1000 a month without getting kicked off, which would require him to get a TRUE and HONEST job.

He says stuff like that, but then his Amazon wishlist was entirely toys. Not one household item, or anything that wasn't a luxury priced lego set. I think Chris "having trouble" paying bills means that it pisses him off he has to pay them. He seriously thinks his tugboat is his free money meant to be spent on toys. He also eats out virtually everyday.
Ever, ever having to tighten his belt, financially, is a huge affront to Chris.
I don't think Chris minds paying bills, so long as he gets enough money for toys. Also, most people think that Chris never reaches a point where he has too many toys, that he's insatiable. I disagree. I think Chris does reach toy exhaustion, he reaches toy exhaustion every month. It's kind of like a holiday food coma, where you stuff yourself until you're bursting at the seams, and then you just go and plop down on the couch to watch football. Your brain is barely functioning at that point.
That's what Chris is like with toys. Chris has to spend and spend until he reaches his toy coma every month or something is wrong. Chris has to be surrounded by a 3 ring circus of fun 24/7.
I think Chris does normally reach his toy coma each month with cash to spare. (I'm not saying that he has a positive dollar amount in his bank account at the end of the month, because of food and other necessities. But Chris does comfortably buy all the toys and cell phone games and stuff while meeting his obligations for the month.) But once in awhile, Chris can't meet all his obligations and still spend money on toys, and that's when the bitching comes out. "
waddaya mean i have to wait a month to afford da new iphone?? why do you hate autistics so much??

He will never be in the red at the pace he is making those abominations. He gets like $1000+ for free every month.
I think it is safe to assume that he has not claimed a dollar of it with the IRS, so probably does not effect the welfare. Although it would be hilarious if he was audited, chances are good the IRS have more pressing issues than getting their due on less than $800 in autistic bucks.
I think it's more than that. You are missing the eBay stuff, no?
I looked at it somewhat carefully pre-Amiibo, pre-Etsy, and it looked like he had made about $3000-3500 profit from his first wave of crap on eBay. That was mostly stuff with fairly low costs of production. Drawings, autographed pictures, and medallions.
I am fairly confident that including etsy, particularly including the very large donation, he is well over $5000 and well under $10000 in profit. It would take more time than I am willing to invest to narrow it down more than that.

Too much.
It's hard to know for sure, since Chris doesn't keep track of his overhead. If we knew that we'd have a much better idea. He started with his most profitable product, the illustrations, and then just kept moving on to more expensive products that took longer to produce with smaller profit margins. We know he's traveling all over the state just to get amiibos. I'm willing to bet in the early days there was some good money in this, but now he's pushed any real financial success out of the way with his dedication to products like amiibos which have horrible overhead, opportunity costs, shipping costs and therefore profit margins. I'm willing to concede Chris probably made a net of $3-5k, but over the course of a year? That's not saying much at all.
Yep, you're right, I completely forgot that. But I would add to that he is still paying for postage as well as the cost to post stuff on Ebay. Not sure if etsy cost anything other than the sellers' dignity.
I wouldn't be shocked if it's more than you think. Lots of spergs are buying his shit
One red cent.
He'll still blow most of it on Legos or something useless.

The amiibos make this a tough question, the drawings and photos are pretty much pure profit, at most I'd say that printing and shipping a $10 drawing costs $4, the more expensive stuff would grant even bigger returns because the costs are about the same. I don't know his cost on the books or if he's even sold any, I haven't kept up.
What makes it hard about the amiibos is that his costs aren't the same from unit to unit. We'd have to know how may he's sold and how many of each characters. Model magic is between $7/# and $16/# depending on if you buy 2# tubs like a smart guy that uses the shit by the truck load, or if you buy the 1/4# packages like a chump. I can't imagine he uses more than a couple ounces of model magic per model, which puts his model magic costs between $0.88 and $2 per model, Little foil tubes of super glue are about $0.75 and i think one per model is a reasonable assumption, it's not like you can rely use them later event if he doesn't use the whole thing on one, they get hard too fast. Amiiboos them selves seem to be between $13 and $15 each, so his pre-shipping costs on one model Amiibos are between $14.63 and 17.75. The kicker with that is that sonichu and some of the other ones take two ammiibos to make, so that doubles his costs to be between $29.26 and $35.50. This is holding his time to be worthless and doesn't factor in shipping, gas to get supplies or paint. I think it's pretty fair to not count paint because the crayola paint he surely uses is $4/pint and the models look pretty thinly painted so I'm sure his paint costs are pennies per model.
If someone who got an Amiibo can look at their box and see what he paid to ship it that'd help narrow costs down more.
Long story short, at $30/sonichu (that was the old price, right?) he's surely loosing money after shipping, at the new price of $50 he's probably making between five and ten bucks per-chu. The analysis comes out abut the same on the one model figures that he's selling for $30, profit is probably a bit higher on those because shipping s the same and his non-shipping costs are around 50-60% of sale price instead of being up around 70% like on the $50 figures.
