The initial outlay for the equipment is one thing, of course. But then there's the discs (both new and "recycled," currently in the range of about $3-4 a pop) and all the ancillary stuff: glossy sticker paper, X-acto blades, cutting mat, Goo-Gone to remove existing labels…and then the toll the labeling itself has taken on my fingernails! (I finally got smart and bought a plastic scraper and blades.)
Still…it brings me joy and keeps my mind off everything else that's going on in the world.
