Quick Take
Choosing a barcode scanner for machine vision identification comes down to where and how you scan. The four units here range from a $19.99 new Bluetooth handheld to an $810 open-box fixed industrial scanner. If you need a low-cost cordless scanner for a small shop, the Tera D5100 is the entry point. If you want a premium Datalogic handheld without paying new pricing, the seller-refurbished POWERSCAN PM9501 at $59.98 covers wireless scanning. For fixed industrial setups, the SICK CLV490-6010 used unit at $279 and the open-box Datalogic Matrix 320 at $810 give you different price points and conditions.

Product Notes
Datalogic POWERSCAN PM9501💙Wireless Barcode Scanner Retail POS Industrial
At $59.98, this seller-refurbished Datalogic POWERSCAN PM9501 is a wireless handheld option for retail or light industrial POS scanning. The description says it is fully tested and includes an OEM battery, which addresses two common concerns when buying refurbished. The wireless connectivity means you can move around a counter or work cell without being tethered. The trade-off is the condition: seller refurbished means the scanner is not factory-new, so if your procurement requires mint hardware, this is not that. The title does not state 1D or 2D capability, so if you need both symbologies, the Tera D5100 explicitly calls them out.
Tera Industrial 1D/2D Wireless Barcode Scanner Model D5100 Bluetooth 2.4G USB
At $19.99, the Tera D5100 is the lowest listed price here and the only new Bluetooth scanner in the group. The title explicitly calls out 1D/2D scanning, Bluetooth 2.4G connectivity, and USB, making it a straightforward choice for a new handheld scanner that can handle both linear and 2D codes. The orange/black colorway and "Industrial" in the name suggest it is aimed at tougher environments, though no impact or ingress rating is listed. The main limitation is that it is described only as a scanner unit; no charging base, cradle, or fixed-mount accessories are mentioned. If your workflow needs a mounted scanner, this handheld-only listing may not fit.
Datalogic Matrix 320 710-430 Industrial Barcode Scanner
This is the highest-priced item at $810.00, listed as New - Open box. It is a fixed industrial barcode scanner from Datalogic's Matrix 320 line, with the Model and mpn 710-430 in the attribute set. For an imaging cell on a conveyor or assembly line, a fixed scanner like this removes handheld motion from the equation. The open-box condition means the item is new but the box has been opened; if you are purchasing for a process that requires factory-fresh sealed packaging, factor that in. The price sits at the top of this set's range, so the decision here comes down to whether a new fixed unit is worth that premium over the used SICK.
SICK CLV490-6010 Industrial Barcode Scanner , V#6
At $279.00, the SICK CLV490-6010 sits between the handhelds and the Matrix 320. It is a used unit, and the description calls it a line-scan, low-density bar code scanner with a program selectable host and notes the part is discontinued by the manufacturer. If you need an established fixed scanner for applications that don't require the latest generation, the SICK name and the specific Model and mpn give you a concrete replacement target. The limitation: the condition is used, and the description says it is discontinued, so you are purchasing legacy hardware. If your organization requires current equipment, the Datalogic Matrix 320 is the new open-box alternative in this comparison.
