Is it worth selling Barber clipper holders?

Q: Is it worth selling Barber clipper holders?

Risky, with a score of 43 out of 100. The prices shown are for commercial holders because no printed seller with a price was found. It could work as a shop-branded set for barbers with direct local sales, and it fails as an anonymous listing against cheap imports.

Why it can work

Barbers are visual and buy branded shop gear
Exact fit for popular clippers is a real benefit
Local shops can be sold to in person

Why it might fail

Cheap imports sit under $20
Printed plastic meets oils and cleaning sprays
Shops need few units

Be aware before you sell

Check licences on MakerWorld and CGTrader files, since none were confirmed for selling prints. Clipper brand names such as Wahl should appear only as fit descriptions. Etsy asks for your own original design, so a licensed file may not qualify.

How to get a file you may sell

Make your own. Tinkercad is free and enough for simple shapes.
Buy a commercial licence. Many designers on Cults3D, MyMiniFactory and Etsy sell one. Read what it allows.
Use open licences. CC0 and CC BY allow selling prints. NC does not. Filter by licence on Printables or MakerWorld and keep a screenshot.
