J.Q.M.D. Posted September 16, 2022 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2022 This is an extra in my collection, so I was hoping to get an evaluation before offering it up. It's a live M18 violet smoke grenade still sealed in it's container. From what I've researched, violet is a more rare color. Is this the case? What are live M18s bringing these days? I saw some very high asking prices, but could not find where any have recently sold. Any help would be appreciated! JQMD Link to comment
268th C.A. Posted September 16, 2022 Share #2 Posted September 16, 2022 $50. $60 don't try shipping it USPS.... Link to comment
Dirt Detective Posted September 16, 2022 Share #3 Posted September 16, 2022 Checking gun broker, finished auctions show live M18 smoke's going from $150 to $200 and that is not in a sealed container. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/947189463 This is just one there are several more shown.

I find it hard to believe that the price went down. 1 hour ago, Dirt Detective said: Checking gun broker, finished auctions show live M18 smoke's going from $150 to $200 and that is not in a sealed container. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/947189463 This is just one there are several more shown. Thanks! I didn't think about checking Gunbroker. That's more in line with what I was thinking. Link to comment
DaBomb Posted September 17, 2022 Share #5 Posted September 17, 2022 Violet is the premium $ color. The days of $60 smoke are over. They start at $100 and go up to over $200. Violet brings the premium. Link to comment

UPS ground will ship them (or use too) Like boat and signal flares and other items of ammo or pyro nature they required a form and a hazmat sticker. But this is often not followed and items are shipped Link to comment
