Well, that is going to depend on a lot of things, like what kind of paper clip, how large it is, etc. But for an example, we'll go with a price I just found on Amazon for 1000 paperclips for $7.63.
At that price, they cost less and one cent each ($0.00763), so if you could really sell single paper clips (which no one really does), then you could make a small profit by selling them for one cent each.
This same brand and size of paper clip is even cheaper if you buy 2,000 or 5,000 at a time. For instance, if you bought the 50 box option (100/box) instead of the 10 box option, it is $15.99, which works out to 0.003198 per paper clip.

The cost of producing a single paper clip can vary depending on factors such as the materials used, production methods, and economies of scale. Generally, the cost to manufacture a single paper clip is estimated to be around $0.01 to $0.05. This cost includes expenses such as raw materials (typically steel wire), machinery and equipment, labor, packaging, and overhead costs.
Most paper clips are made from steel. You could make a paper clip out of copper, but the cost would be higher for something that would do the same job.
