Among others the german WW1 "Markgraf" ...

Asking price is a bit high, especially if you consider you will have to remove it lol; but then i guess that is the real intention

However, the steel of those ships was forged before 1945, meaning this steel is suited for scientific arrays and instruments.. all steel made after 1945 is poisoned by atmospheric radiation from the atom bomb fallouts, maybe it s worth a bit..

You can't remove them, you're only paying for the "right" to dive on them. That's the way I read it at least.

^ You are right, they state you cannot raise the rests. Too bad..

Would be a fair price if they were actually still afloat

The listing describes the ships as "pre-owned" and says the buyer must collect.

Ah, okay
