Pre-Demolition Sales/Liquidations

[Account Closed]

Do any of you go to these sales? Basically, before a home is torn down, they let you come in and salvage materials like fireplace surrounds, light fixtures, cabinetry - whatever you'd like to buy. 

I know most salvage stores get their products from doing these very things. The only problem is that they then mark things way up, and I'd prefer to just go right to the source and save the money. I found out about one by chance last weekend and wow! It was fun and pretty cool. The house was not a glorious historic landmark, I should add! It was about 10 years old. But I was able to get a lot of nice things that I can use in my properties. 

Does anyone know how to be in the know on these sales and when they are coming up so I can be prepared? Is there some website or mailing list for people who will come and take things on a regular basis? I looked all around the Internet but couldn't find any such thing.

Thanks in advance!
