I paid $180 for a used label maker in 2019 and it saved my small business from review chaos
Back in 2019 I was running a tiny online shop from my garage in Akron, and my reviews were all over the place. I kept getting bad feedback because I mixed up orders, so I dropped $180 on a used label maker from a guy on Facebook Marketplace. That thing printed tiny barcodes and dates for every package, and within two months my reviews went from 3.2 to 4.7 stars. I still use it today, and it was the best money I ever spent on my business. But now I wonder if I should upgrade to a newer model or just keep riding this one until it dies. Anyone else have a piece of old gear that just keeps paying for itself?
