You're right, it's a repost. Maybe it didn't sell the first time.
edit: ok, not a repost in COR, but on TOTA http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=441261
This is the one I played at when I was a kid;

There was a titan missle base in the town I grew up in during the summers. The one in Alburg, VT also was sold on ebay. We used to ride our bikes around the base. Everything was underground too, and a lot of it was filled in and asphalted over.

For a while it was used by public works and stored their trucks, gravel and road salt in the hangars. I don't know what the buyer ended up doing with it, but it looks quite a mess by looking at the satellite images.
This is a picture of the base in 1995;
Below are pictures of it in 1986 as I remember it;
Silo doors covered with equipment;

I'm surprised this hasn't gotten purchased yet. I know if I won the lottery or something, I definately would buy it. 1.5 million for 57 acres isn't that much. I would make it my house, it would be awesome.
But the seller might be the most random ebay seller around. Pair of shoes...gardening book...paintball hopper...missile base. |
