You can't beat this for the thrill of the hunt. Habitat for Humanity's ReStore outlets are located across the country. Recently, we checked out one in Portland, Ore. We were amazed and delighted by what people give away: doors, paint, cabinets... a good portion of it new and unused, the result of measuring error.

In Boston we have the Building Materials Resource Center, a non-profit that collects donated building materials for resale. http://www.bostonbmrc.org/bostonbmrc/index.html
If you or your family are considered low income, you can get a substantial discount. Also, non-profits can get a discount.
Bonus, they offer workshops on DIY home repair, green home projects, etc. for only $10 per class. cantabrigian1 on Oct 10, 2007
This kind of store can also be an excellent place to score affordable historic molding and detailing, if you live in a region where there are lots of century-old houses or apartments that weren't high-end enough for their trim to be sold to "architectural antiques" shops. The Habitat store in South Minneapolis -- it may be gone now -- was HUGE for this. wende in the twin cities on Oct 10, 2007
