eBay has some strange stuff for sale, but the Titan 1 nuclear missile silo is one of the oddest. Located on Central Washington’s Larsen Air Force Base, it features 57 acres above ground and has a huge complex consisting of 16 buildings and thousands of feet of connecting tunnels below ground. This could be a dream home for someone and their clan/cult preparing for a party/apocalypse/Armageddon. Who ever gets it will have to have a lot of cash—as of Tuesday, bids were up to $1.5 million.
Above ground is the original 40 X 100 shop building, two concrete targeting structures, two manufactured homes, two 8 X 8 X 40 storage containers, and the silo tops of the three missile silos, two antenna silos, one entry portal and a few other misc structures. Below ground is a huge complex consisting of 16 buildings and thousands of feet of connecting tunnels. The major underground structures are:
Three - 160' Tall Missile Silos

One Air Intake/Filtration Building
One 100' diameter Control Dome Building

and a few other misc buildings and areas.
