Well the missile silo is a rip off. The government was basically giving those things away for like $50K a few years back.

The only problem I see with the island is there is no mention of fresh water. I guess bringing back bottled or catching rainwater would be sufficient though.

I need a big blown-up picture of one of those silos. I am writing a script and was going to put one in as the setting of the film but I can't find a detailed picture.

There is one problem with the island that you ought to know about before bidding...

It gets SLAMMED by a hurricane every couple of years...

I would buy the Island as long as I can name it anything I want. Call it Monster Island.

The silo. It's close to home, good skiing in the winter. Perfect for the adventurous evil genius.

12 acres..

doh! I dind't read the most obvious part. Though they seem to make it a point not to mention the size in any other part of its description. Even the main website.

After reading Swan's Song I'd go for the the Silo, call it Earth House 2 :) the island looks like it could disappear under a heavy rainstorm.

I'd buy the missle silos... dig them out of the groud and then fly them to be installed on my 12 acre island. ITS GENIUS!
