Hello All,

I am new to the group, been welding off and on over the years, still a better stick welder than any other type!! (Old School) Because I'm old! LOL [emoji23]

I was given a 110V Snap-On MIG 135 around 10 years ago and it has performed well for me over the years (mainly as a flux core), but, I want to upgrade to a 220V machine and need to sell the MIG 135. I looked up what this machine runs new (or ran new at the time it was purchased) and it is now going for $2,145. Why anyone would pay that much for a 110V welder, I will never know, but now I need to know what price range I should list this machine for on the used market? It is probably 12 years old, or so and is in great shape.

So my question is, what would you guys try to sell this for?

Thanks!

What I'd so is figure out what machine is actually is. Whether it's a Miller or a Lincoln or whatever, then you can tack on the Snap-On price hike.

And hey, nothing wrong with stick welding! It's my go-to, even on sheet metal!

Any clue what machine you wanna replace it with? Any particular budget?

Thanks,

I don't know who actually makes it but I do know it was made in Italy.

I will be looking for a lite duty machine with a budget of around $1000. I just do not weld enough anymore to spend more. Mainly for the occasional repair weld or small project. I just want to be able to produce a quality weld on ¼" material without maxing out a 110V machine, if you know what I mean. LOL Compatible with a spool gun would also be a plus.

Thanks

 

Well, in that case, my neighbor has a Hobart Handler MIG welder and it seems to be serving him pretty dang well! I'm not sure what the spool gun compatability is with that rig, though.

There are some Asian import machines that are actually pretty dang impressive for their price point. I'll leave that to other members with more hands-on experience to comment on.


Not trying to be funny - get some spray wax and clean that machine up. Take some Armorall (I prefer Meguire's Ultimate Protectant) and go over the plastic bits. Make sure it doesn't feel oily, though. Apply it and buff it off.

Less likely a potential buyer is going to try and talk you down if it looks all shiny and new. Even if they DO negotiate, you have more of an advantage if it's shiny!!!

Many of the Snap On mig welders were made by Cebora in Italy.
I have a Marquette branded Cebora and often see the Snap On branded version of it or its little brother listed for more used than I payed for mine new.
The ones shaped like this were for sure made by Cebora:

Cebora changed the shape of their welders about a decade back.
You can see what they look like now here: https://welding.cebora.it/en

I notice your welder has 7 taps on the transformer.
So does mine.
Does it have a switch inside the cover that lets you change polarity without having to unhook the cables?
If so I would be 99% sure it was a Cebora.

I think being able to change from flux to solid wire by just flipping a switch is a neat feature but I have not seen it on anything other than a Cebora.
Likewise most 110v mig welders only have 4 transformer taps not 7.

As far as value it comes down to if you can find some one who will pay for the Snap On label.
The Blue Point I posted a pic of is on facebook market place for $500.
He isn't going to get that for it.

Snap On welders were really overpriced when new.
My advice would be to see what a similar amperage Hobart, Lincoln or Miller is going for in your area and ask for that much.

Good luck.

 

Snap-On is well known brand
But biggest problem is there is lot 120 volt for around $100.00.

Good luck 🤞
