Depends on how aggressive you are marketing your wares and of course quality/price of your wares.
I average 3-5 million a week .
I use the best in resources and I am a known 12pt WS. When I first started I barely scratched 200k a week.
Just advertise and give it time.

You should also ask how much it costs to be a WS per week, and that basically depends on what you are doing.
I have a dozen factories making components, grenades and other weapons. The cost to just run the factories is over 200k per week. Then there are resources.
You may be able to make a lot of money being a WS, but it also costs a lot.

I spent 4-5 mill a week on resources, harvester costs, power and even more than that sometimes on loot for enhanced weapons.
defiantly expensive so altho a WS might make about 10m per week their outgoings will be high also

Ifluctuated between 300k and 3 million. Most of my sales went in cycles, some weeks I would make a killing, others barely a drop in the barrel, but I alwasy had weapons of every type stocked except Geo Pistols. When people came to my venders they knew they were going to have a lot to choose from.

Yep, it'll vary greatly. And whatever server you're on will make a difference, too. My server, Tempest, has about 44 million MWS's, and the prices for normal weapons are ungodly low. When I started on Bria, I couldn't believe how high the prices were for weapons. For me, I tried for a couple months to compete selling normal weapons, but was going bankrupt, so I had to switch tactics. Today, my "normal" weapons account for literally less than 2% of my sales. And how much I make varies greatly from week to week. This month, I've done alright, I'd say maybe 3.5 mil a week, average. This global search has hurt business as well, as I've noticed people tend to mostly search around coronet and go shop there, as there's about 412 weapon shops around Coro.
Anyways, a WS's sales will vary greatly. One week, those 4 Scythes that have been sitting on your vendor for a month sell, and you've just made more in a day than all of the last 3 weeks, for example. Or, you finally get your hands on a sweet set of Acklay bones and slice a nice hammer, and make about 5 mil off it. Very unpredictable. Not like an Artisan or AS, who can "expect" a certain amount of sales per day/week/etc.....
...my two cents.

I only craft single items, rarely will I make weapons in a factory, and I make about 12 mill a week doing so.Not that I can hold onto it, I'm a shopaholic. I see WS components and gotsta have them to craft with, which in turn makes me another 12 mill or so. It's a vicious cycle that's been going on for close to a year and a half.
The key to making tons of cash is using the forums and auctioning your great stuff. Put your average stuff on the vender for fair prices.

With this new galaxy search, I'm in the same boat...

Since the introduction of the server wide vendor search my sales have gone up by around 150%.

Nor do I. Just seems like people like to go to Coro, do a search of the region and go shop in the suburbs of Coro.... You're on Bria though, completely different way the population is spread out.
