Choosing POS retail supplies often comes down to a practical mismatch: the receipt printer may have the right connection but lack a power supply, or it may fit the budget but have a physical condition issue. These four used thermal receipt printers span $34.64 to $93.13, a listed-price spread of $58.49. Start by matching the printer to the connection and equipment your counter setup calls for.
Quick take
The two lower-priced Epson options are close in listed price but differ sharply in connection type and condition details. The Epson M129H TM-T88IV is the higher-priced choice with a power supply and USB cable, while the Seiko RP-D10 is another USB model listed with a power cable. The Epson TM-T88V offers USB at the lower end of the range, but its damaged bottom needs to be part of the decision.

Product notes
Epson M129H TM-T88IV Thermal POS Receipt Printer USB Printer w Power Supply
At USD 93.13, this is the highest listed-price entry in the comparison. Its main appeal is the USB interface paired with a power supply and USB cable, giving it a clearly defined powered USB arrangement. The Epson M129H TM-T88IV is a used thermal POS printer, so it suits a counter that specifically needs those listed connection and power components together. Its limitation is equally clear: it costs substantially more than the two Epson choices priced in the mid-$30 range. Pick this one when the listed power supply and USB cable are more important than pursuing the lowest price.
Epson TM-T88IV M129H RS232 Serial Thermal POS Receipt Printer NO Power Supply
The Epson TM-T88IV M129H RS232 Serial has the group's lowest listed price at USD 34.64. Its RS232 serial connection is the concrete reason to choose it for a POS arrangement designed around serial equipment rather than USB. This used thermal receipt printer also lists a 3.13-inch print width. The compromise is the accessory situation: no power supply, power cable, data cables, or additional accessories are included. This model makes the most sense when the serial connection is essential and compatible power and cabling are already available for the counter setup.
SII SEIKO RP-D10 THERMAL POS RECEIPT PRINTER USB w Power Cable
At USD 83.99, the SII Seiko RP-D10 is a used USB thermal POS receipt printer listed with a power cable. That USB-and-power-cable combination is its most direct reason to consider it, especially when a powered USB printer is preferable to a serial-only unit. The RP-D10 is also identified as a point-of-sale printer. Its limitation is price positioning: it is the second-highest listed-price option and remains a used unit. Choose the Seiko RP-D10 when its USB connection and power cable align with the setup, rather than when the priority is staying close to the lower end of the listed-price range.
Epson TM-T88V M244A POS Thermal Receipt Printer No Power Supply Tested READ
The Epson TM-T88V M244A is listed at USD 34.99, just USD 0.35 above the lowest-priced printer here. It offers USB connectivity in a thermal POS receipt printer, making it a lower-priced USB alternative to the other USB entries. The limitation is important for physical placement: the bottom plastic is broken and a foot is missing. It also has no power supply. Choose this Epson when a USB connection near the low end of the range is the goal and the described bottom condition fits the intended counter placement.
Final recommendations by use case
- Choose the Epson M129H TM-T88IV for a USB setup where the listed power supply and USB cable matter.
- Choose the Epson TM-T88IV M129H RS232 Serial when an RS232 serial connection is required and supporting power and cables are already part of the setup.
- Choose the SII Seiko RP-D10 when top or front paper-exit configuration is relevant to where the printer will sit.
- Choose the Epson TM-T88V M244A when Windows compatibility is the deciding factor and its described broken bottom and missing foot are acceptable.
