This floated into my Marketplace “for you” listings. > **[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1941907223180523/?mibextid=dXMIcH)** At $500K it is about the price of a modest 3 bedroom home around here. Anybody else see any wtf stuff for sale on FB? ---

For those who would rather not click the link, the OP is showing us a 125 foot “landing craft” (boat). mmm ---

500,000 (a few years ago it was 50, but inflation, you know) ---

I dunno, if someone is contemplating invading a small Pacific island (for instance), that LCS might be just the thing. Conversion into a luxury houseboat might take another $500,000. ---

Absolutely no need to convert it. Just park your existing trailer onboard, optionally paint it gray, and enjoy your new mobile home. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > Conversion into a luxury houseboat might take another $500,000. Nonsense! It’s got sleeping accommodation for at least three, two heads, and a shower (which, granted, needs cleaning) and a galley.

[What more do you need?](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gbwVOPHQyn0xWaDTYnKF3WZjaW_p4c6c) Hey, thanks for all the interior pix! Let me guess, that must be its Zillow listing, right? ---

If you hit “see more” on the FB description, you get the URL. I was looking for the tonnage certificate, because 125ft doesn’t make any sense. Sure enough, it’s 113. ---

A couple of days ago, there was a set of emails going around the faculty at the school I teach at asking where the lost and found was now, since our main office just moved. The answer settled on a table outside of the old main office. One teacher then asked “What about expensive items like phones or tablets? Where do we put those?” Another teacher answered “Facebook Marketplace”. ---

If anyone is curious, it’s the **[Lingayen Gulf (LCU-1528)](https://www.navsource.net/archives/10/18/181528.htm)** a U.S. Navy landing craft that was launched in 1954 and retired in 1991. At some point, it was transferred to the U.S. Army for training purposes. ---
