| What would an excellent condition De-mil AT-4 be worth? |
Depends on the desire of a collector to have one. Entirely subjective to supply, and demand. I have one without demil, and have no idea what it's worth, but I collect, so it's staying right here for now.  I do know that demil actions normally reduce the value quite a bit, as it is not really needed for these or LAW tubes, or DRAGON tubes, but I guess it makes people feel better to chop big holes in them for some reason.

Should get $50 fairly easy with a local sale.
They have been known to fetch around $300 (Shipped) to some idiots with more money than brains though. Don't ship it through the USPS!!! : With sincere apologies to our overseas customers, we must now restrict the sale of inert ordnance collectables to domestic US customers only. The reason for this is that such items have recently been banned by the US Postal Service. Consequently, the only method available for shipping these items is UPS. US customers with a PO Box address will need to provide a UPS address if they wish to purchase inert ordnance.
This also means that customers in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico will need to arrange for a UPS 2nd Day Air shipment of orders containing collectable ordnance. Deployed or overseas US Military customers with APO and FPO addresses will need to provide a UPS-friendly street address for a relative or friend in the US who can receive a package for you. If you ordered more than the ordnance, we can of course send the ’safe’ items directly to you, and the ’scary’ item to your friend or family member’s UPS address. This is not something we are happy about, but it is the new reality. Other militaria dealers have informed me that a number of their packages with ordnance (even if clearly marked "INERT" and disassembled) have been opened and the contents confiscated. Makes no sense to run the risk of confiscation or worse. I can very easily see getting a bill from the posties for hundreds of thousands of dollars to compensate them for having closed down a postal sorting facility while the local bomb squad deployed to subdue your wayward relic grenade... just not worth the risk. If your package is scanned or even damaged and the contents are even "Suspected" as containing ordnance, the loacl squad will be called to Render Safe your parcel. You could then be billed for their service and call-ut as these items are NOT supposed to be shipped through the USPS... ~Will |

Quoted:
You can't even tell it has been demilled other that "INERT" stenciled on the side a 2 small holes in the rear of the tube. I am trying to fund a rifle build and knowing how much it is worth will be a great help in my attempt to raise capital. http://<a href=http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a13/schitzangiggles/th_at4003.jpg</a>" /> The two small holes are what destroys the collector value. As was posted, there are plenty of tubes out there that have not been altered in any way. Good luck with the sale. You can try it on auction arms or gunbroker and put a reserve on it and see what it might fetch. GROG |

The USPS only proposed a rule prohibiting inert ordnance but it was never enacted. Here is a link to their proposed rule: http://pe.usps.com/FRN/Inert_Munitions.pdf Fortunately, that rule never went into effect. This proposed rule disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, probably due to this letter that essentially told the USPS that they didn't have the authority to enact it. The USPS cannot BAN or PROHIBIT an item from being mailed unless there is corresponding US Law or Code that specifically states the item is illegal to send via US Mail. http://gunowners.org/fs0804.pdf USPS has no issues with mailing inert ordnance domestically or internationally. Just be sure to comply with any Postal or Customs requirements of the receiving country. ––John |

I have seen them sell for $50 BEFORE the economy took a nose dive.
A collector will pay more - but - they want NO holes drilled in it and all the sights still there. Put it in the EE at a high price and then just drop it down every week or two weeks. You might get a taker for it - then again - it is just a decoration... Good Luck. - That is interesting about the inert stuff & mail - Internet rumors - sorry for spreading them! - BUT package it well!! ~Will |

My M72 cost me 150.
Saw a fired Dragon for the same price. Have seen excellent condition AT4s go for $500, but that was only on one site. RPB industries had them for sale 5 or 6 years ago...150. Now, fucked up launchers are worth much less. Some jackass did a camo job to his M72 and sold it at a gunshow for $50 bucks. |

Why are these demilled? Once you shoot it it's done, they aren't reloadable so why is that? As Grog mentioned, there are many that have not been altered in any way.. as for the OP.. i worked for a guy who had me sell some collector stuff for him, i fetched about $180each for a couple inert at-4s if i recall.. but that was 2 years ago |
