Technical bleg: cheapest reliable postage label printer?

Is this expensive, for a postage label printer? Because $160 seems expensive. As in, actually out-of-budget expensive*. It’s going to be a lot cheaper for me to print out the postage labels on my own on regular paper and tape ’em to the envelope.

Thoughts?

*All the money’s getting reinvested into future projects. Although a label-maker may end up being a business expense, at that.
