Choosing a receipt printer for your retail counter usually comes down to how it connects to your existing setup and what it costs. Two used thermal printers in this range-the SNBC BTP-2002NP and the Epson TM-T88V M244A-are both built for retail, both use thermal printing, and both include a JamFree auto-cutter. That means the real decision isn't about the core printing mechanics. It's about which connection your POS system expects and how much you want to spend. Both are being sold as used units, so the condition and the accessories that come along are part of the decision you're weighing.
Quick Verdict
If your retail setup relies on a serial port, the SNBC is the one that fits directly. If you need USB or Ethernet convenience, the Epson is the easier choice.

Product Notes
SNBC BTP-2002NP POS Serial Thermal Receipt Printer w/ OEM Power Supply *TESTED
The SNBC BTP-2002NP is a used thermal printer that has been tested and confirmed to be working properly. For a used piece of POS hardware, that tested claim is a big part of its appeal. The OEM power supply is included, so you won't have to search for a compatible adapter. It's built for retail with a JamFree auto-cutter, which keeps receipts cutting cleanly during busy shifts. The thermal print method means you don't need ink or toner. As with any used unit, you can expect signs of wear, like scratches and scuffs. The title's *TESTED flag signals that the seller wants you to know it works before you commit. If your counter already handles the connection type this printer uses, the tested reassurance and complete power supply make it a convenient option.
Epson TM-T88V M244A USB/Ethernet Thermal POS Receipt Printer w/ Power Supply
The Epson TM-T88V M244A is a used thermal receipt printer that was recently retired from one of the seller's stores. It prints well, and the case has a few scratches. The included AC adapter and USB printer cable are a practical plus because they're the parts you'd otherwise need to buy. The JamFree auto-cutter is also here, so you get reliable tearing without calling for maintenance. This unit is ready for retail checkout counter duty, with thermal printing that keeps consumables simple. It was removed during a store upgrade, so it's a machine that has already seen real shifts. Just be prepared for the cosmetic wear, and remember that the cables you need are already included.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the SNBC BTP-2002NP if you want a used printer that comes with a tested-and-working confirmation and an OEM power supply. Choose the Epson TM-T88V M244A if you want the convenience of included cables and a straightforward setup with the accessories already in the box. For a refreshed checkout lane, the Epson is the more natural fit. For a counter that needs the complete power package, the SNBC is the reassuring pick.
