This section of the forum is for discussing the business and finance issues of the t-shirt industry. Which business structure to use (sole proprietor, LLC, S Corp, etc), how to handle billing, where to register your business and get the proper licensing, etc.
This will vary so greatly that I cant imagine anyone being able to tell you this. It will depend on how your site is set up and what your key word strategy is, etc. Do you already have a site? If not, let me know and maybe I can save you some of the time I wasted.
I know you want to know because you want to compare how well you do to how someone else is doing but other people may be doing well for a wide variety of reasons.
My question to you is what are you doing to advertise your website? What is your advertising strategy? How are you differentiating your products from others?

I think it is fantastic that you see that happening to you! It sounds like you have quality traffic. Unfortunately, this is not the case for most people.
A lot of times people don't segregate bot traffic from real traffic. Looks like you have that covered

thank you!!!
I think it's going to be hard for people to post their "real" numbers on a public forum. You may have more luck if you PMd a few people.
I think that any numbers you have that allow you to cover your overhead are great - right? Given the economy and based on the statistics I've seen, most companies are just trying to stay alive.
If you can't get anyone to share numbers with you here, try checking the stats on National Retailer Federation website - National Retail Federation - (there are also such associations for just about every state). You can also take a look at http://www.shop.org which is NRF's digital side.
Online sales, expectations, past vs now 
It sounds like you have quality traffic. Unfortunately, this is not the case for most people.
