I knew a guy that removed all the architectural "goodies", doors as well, from OLD homes that were to be demolished.
He took all the stuff to local flea markets and sold hardly a piece here and there. Then he figured out what he needed to do. Instead of the nice, but old varnish, he'd roughly paint them, start them on fire for a short time, extinguish the fire. Crinkled paint sold VERY well at the flea markets for much more money.
I remember watching him do this and thought he was insane. That is, until i witnessed him selling out at the next market.
