    Don't think there is any money in it. Speaking about building materials anybody here try reselling old doors, door handles, decorative wood, etc from old houses that are getting demolished? I think there was a market for that stuff during the building and remodeling boom.

    Yes there is a market for that...folks that are trying to match up to existing hardware or getting a whole set for a room that is close to other hardware in the home...same with trim.

    Doors sell as is or I will cut a 6 panel in half up the vertical stile then put it back together 90 degrees to each other to make a corner shelf. Also have salvaged small Built-Ins and made them self supporting so they could be put or hung else ware in a room.

    Below is a old exam table with a marble top from a pizza place and a shadow box from an old window and trim.
