It is truly a weird and wonderful world of things you can buy out there. Last year I contemplated buying a 100-tonne crane in New Jersey, which was going for about $5,000. The only issue was that you had to go pick it up yourself...

I am looking for a 60 ft+ steel ship if you come across one.

There is a 25ft one currently at $1,550 in Montana, made from steel and comes with its own trailer! - https://www.govauctions.app/auction/gsa-3-1-QSC-I-26-284-021

I saw someone in court getting a lengthy for stealing all the enormous counterweights from cranes and taking them for their scrap metal value. Apparently they are very expensive.
