Quick take
You're setting up a checkout station and need a thermal receipt printer that won't stall the line. All four printers here are used Star models, connect over USB, and come with a JamFree auto-cutter, so the real decision is what's included in the box and how much it costs.
If your register area already has spare cables and a power adapter, the Star TSP650II listed without a power supply is the lowest-priced entry point. If you want a TSP650II that arrives with a power adapter but you can supply a standard three-prong cord and USB cable, the with-power-supply listing at the lower end of the price spread is a more complete starting point. If a power supply in the box is worth paying more for, the higher-priced TSP650II listing covers that. And if you need the wider 3.15-inch print format of the TSP700II with a PS-180 power supply included, that's the option at the top of the range.

Product notes
Star TSP650II Thermal Receipt Black Printer TSP650 USB with Power Supply DK POS - USD 32.00
At USD 32.00, this is the lower-priced of the two TSP650II listings that include a power supply. The used printer prints 3.13-inch thermal receipts and is described as compatible with iOS, Windows, and Android. What makes it a practical pick is the included power adapter: you get the power piece without paying the higher TSP650II price. The limitation is the missing USB cable and the need for a standard three-prong cord on the adapter side, so plan to supply those before you print. If you already have those small items, the lower-priced power-supply TSP650II gets a Star receipt printer into a checkout setup for a modest outlay.
Star TSP650II Thermal Receipt Black Printer TSP650 USB with Power Supply DK POS - USD 75.00
At USD 75.00, this used TSP650II sits at the high end of the three TSP650II listings. It includes a power supply, so it's the option to pick when you want a TSP650II that arrives with the power piece and you don't want to start from a no-power listing. The description positions it as a retail-ready POS printer, and the model family is the same TSP650II used by the other USB printers here. The limitation is the price gap within the same family: the lower-priced TSP650II listing also includes a power adapter, so you're paying a noticeable premium for this listing's bundled supply. If the convenience of an included power supply is worth that premium, it's a straightforward choice.
Star TSP650II Thermal Receipt Black Printer TSP650 USB no Power Supply DK POS - USD 30.00
At USD 30.00, this is the least expensive listing here, and it's also the least equipped. The used Star TSP650II has USB connectivity, but the title and description make it clear that no power supply and no USB cable are included. If you're replacing an older receipt printer and already own the adapter and cable, this is the most direct way to get the TSP650II family for the lowest listed outlay. The limitation is that the printer can't print until you supply those two items, so the real cost depends on what's already in your drawer. For a checkout setup with spare POS accessories, this listing is the leanest path in.
Star Micronics TSP700II Thermal Receipt POS Printer w/ PS-180 Power Supply - USD 99.95
USD 99.95 buys the only TSP700II-series printer in this group, and it comes with the Star PS-180 power supply. It's a used USB thermal printer with a 3.15-inch print width, making it the widest-format option here. The description points to ready use with compatible POS systems and names the TSP743IIU model, so it suits a replacement scenario where you're matching an existing setup. The limitation is the price: it's the highest listed price in this comparison, and the listing focuses on compatible POS systems rather than naming operating systems the way the TSP650II notes do. If the wider print format and the included power supply are important, this is the one.
Final recommendation by use case
- Already have spare power supply and USB cable: The Star TSP650II without Power Supply DK POS keeps the outlay at the bottom of the price range.
- Need a power adapter but can supply cable and cord: The lower-priced Star TSP650II with Power Supply DK POS is the balanced pick.
- Bundled power supply matters more than price: The higher-priced Star TSP650II with Power Supply DK POS fits.
- Wider receipt format: The Star Micronics TSP700II at the top of the price range is the fitting choice.
