Assembly not included, huh?  But arrangements can be made to have it shipped as well as assembled.
I'm unfamiliar with bidding on things, both online and at actual auctions.  I just clicked on and read the link, and at the end it said that the bidding was closed.   Maybe it's still available.
I wonder where the fire tower came from.  Perhaps one that was dismantled and replaced.   Why was it dismantled.  Maybe it was to build a higher tower because the trees grew too high and the fire watch couldn't see over the trees.  
Seriously,  the tower might be a good thing for a group of people who love the Pine Barrens to chip in for and use.   I would afford a great overhead, panoramic view of the Pine Barrens.
Maybe some of you 4 X 4 types can bring a few cases of beer and your high powered rifles and scopes and we could shoot rattlesnakes from atop the tower.
