There are quite a few games made with RPG Maker on Steam, over 400,
so you can look at them to see what the market is like:

	http://store.steampowered.com/search/?tags=5577&page=1

Not all of these games were actually made with RPG Maker, the "RPGMaker"
tag also gets used sometimes with games that just look like they were
made with it.

A few new RPG Maker games come out on Steam every month. That pace is
only going to quicken now that getting your game on Steam is as simple
as paying a $100 fee.

I've got a few of them through Humble Bundle deals, but I haven't gotten
around to playing them yet.  You might actually have an RPG Maker game
and not know it as the engine has been used in a few relatively popular
non-RPG indie games, like To the Moon and Always Sometimes Monsters.

Or like Cherry Tree High Comedy Club which I've played and had forgotten
was made with RPG Maker.  It's a time management game were you play
a high school student who's trying to sign up enough members start a
stand-up comedy club at her school.  I recommend it, but admitably it's
not going to be everyone's cup a tea.  It's a type game that's often
mistakenly called a visual novel, but while the visual presentation is
similar to a visual novel, these kind of games are quite different as
they actually have actual gameplay.

I haven't played any... but they exist, and are on Steam.  Google.
