You can not sell on ebay if it isn't, but the site seems so badly done it looks fake?

Its a scam.  From an architectural engineering standpoint, it would never pass permits.

However, there is a reputable builder that does turn missile silos into underground townhomes.  One's been finished and is for sale, but I can't recall the name of the company selling it offhand.  My local paper did a Sunday piece on it a month ago.

There was also a company turning old B-52s and jumbo jets into RVs and mobile homes, wingless, of course.

Actually, I did see a show on Discovery or TLC or HGTV or something where a lady was living in an old 727, had it on a piece of property, tho' it wasn't elevated on a central post like the one in the ad.

Yeah, I saw a photo of that.  You really wouldn't want to live in one of those tubes.
And that missile silo is cool, but it's not his web site (in spite of his claims)
