Ok this could quite possibly be the most random ebay item i've ever seen.

Titan Missile Base Central Washington - (eBay item 190132455924 end time Oct-13-07 18:55:49 PDT)

I'll let the link do the talking.

So any takers?

[COLOR=#FF6600][COLOR=#f30094][COLOR=#ff0000]I am interested in the recent auction that you have listed on Ebay & Missile Base. The property is listed as "The Former Larson Air Force Base Complex 1A Titan ICBM Facility" & seems adequate for my needs, but the details on the underground facilities and tunnels are too sketchy to make any plans. The property will be for personal use as a private residence and air strip. Based on the details you have provided so far I can assume that the underground facility is usable but requires complete retrofitting to house a private residence. I am not asking for a detailed workout of the entire facility, but just for a general layout of the levels as to where any current plumbing, electrical & sewage access is. I also would like to request a work-up on financial proceedings containing total cost, three year balloon, interest and any other helpful information that I might need to consider. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hopefully doing business with you.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=black][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][COLOR=#f30094][COLOR=#ff0000]First - Thank you for your interest.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#f30094][COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]Second - where do I begin.....[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#f30094][COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]If you are only interested in using the place as a residence then you have your choice of 16 buildings to choose from. The Power Dome alone is 125' in diameter with about a 65' center ceiling. That's more than 12,000 square feet of open space. You could literally build any type of typical house INSIDE the Power Dome - if that was what you wanted to do. OR You could remodel all or part of the Control Dome, which itself is a 100' diameter two story dome containing over 7800 square feet in the first floor alone. OR you could decide to live in one of the THREE, four story equipment terminal buildings that contain about 1200 square feet of floor space on EACH floor!! OR you could build an apartment in the AIR INTAKE BUILDING, which OVERLOOKS the Power Dome so you could have an UNDERGROUND APARTMENT WITH A VIEW!! The Air Intake Building is 60' in diameter with about a 20' high ceiling!! That works out to about 2800 square feet of living space. OR you could choose to live in one or BOTH of the Antenna SILOS - They are 30' in diameter with about a 40' ceiling ON THE FIRST FLOOR! The lower level is also 30' in diameter with about a 20' ceiling. ADDITIONALLY, if you chose to live in one or both of the Antenna Silos, you could retrofit the ANTENNA SILO - SILO DOORS - each weighing about 50 tons - with a new hydraulic opening system and then you could have your own push button 100-ton opening skylight. And if you really wanted to go whole hog, you could live in the bottom of one of the 155’ tall MISSILE SILOS and retrofit the 150 ton SILO DOORS so you could push a button and open them up – 155’ above the floor!!


NUTS!!

if you had the $$ to buy & retrofit it would be pretty cool. lol.
didnt know the govern ment had sold those of. guess it makes sense though.
can see some neo nazi/military type psycho group buying this up.

[Falstaff]

having actually seen a real one it's a steal really, just got to fix it up and your doing remarkably well. I saw a show where some interprising folks really made a decent living in one, albiet like the ruby mines of Australia the creature comforts might take some getting used..LOL

I've seen some missile silos converted to homes on tv and they are huge, don't require much (if any) heating or air conditioning and can look quite nice if enough renovations are put into it. I think it would be kinda sweet but living out in the middle of nowhere makes you wonder what kind of services would be available (phone, water, electricity, gas) and the luxuries (internet, tv). Better to build a house overtop and have a nice bunker underneath for tornadoes or nuclear war

[BlueMak]

Wouldn't it be a first target priority from a hypothetical nuclear attack from a major country? (not your house, but the silos).

[OmegaRED]

Why would a country target silos which were abandoned over 50 years ago?

Just in case. Bad intelligence.

[mike2h]

you mean that the fact that it is being sold on ebay could be a clever subterfuge hiding the fact that there are still missiles in a obsolete facility?

[BlueMak]

No, I mean that in case someone (country) wanted to attack american missile silos would attack them just in case, or due to poor intelligence (no knowledge they were not carrying any missiles any more).

The whole thing is of course a joke, it wouldn't matter if there was a nuclear war if you were inside the silo or not.

what the fuck...

I'm guessing that most of the countries that have the capability to carry out missile attacks didn't even have nukes when that silo was decommissioned so they won't have it as a target

i wish i was rich........

[Tinkerhell]

It's real. I was looking at these for a lark a long time ago. There are plenty out there which are available. If I had a few 100 million I'd by one. Would make a good fallback facility in case the SHTF for real ever.
