Bid & Destroy

Brian and Lee submit a blind bid on a 1920s farmhouse–turned–administration building on the University of New Hampshire campus. The bid is $2,000 below cost, but Lee thinks it could lead to more work on the campus in the future.

Lee Danley and his team are in New Castle, Maine, at the island mansion of a developer friend. Lee won't have to bid for this job, but he knows it's going to be really slim margins. However, the owner tells him about a gold coin worth thousands lost in the house, and a Chris Craft boat for which he'll split the profit if Lee can sell it.

The Danley Demolition team gambles on a farmhouse from the 1730s in Hampton, N.H. But just before they start bidding, they find out that owner of the house is keeping the salvage. Lee ultimately wins the bid, but is really counting on two things: that Kip doesn't damage any of the salvage, and that they can find some good stuff in the old house and barn.

An old school house is being torn down and it's time to poke around for treasures.With time running out they stumble across what appears to be an old typewriter in a custom-made box and take it to be appraised by their friend Donna. They end the day on a very high note when Donna tells them that it's a WWII Enigma machine worth anywhere between $20,000 and $100,000.

Because of a favor owed, Lee Danley agrees to tear down a house for much less than the going rate. But when Brian and Eric get to the property in an upscale neighborhood they see that the house has been stripped clean, with broken windows, spray-paint everywhere and nothing of value left inside.

There's just one day for the crew to get whatever they can out of a 150-year-old house. But things start getting weird fast — an old scythe in the yard, creepy cages in the basement and a cryptic message on a wall … spooky! The spirits may not like the fact that the “haunted” house is coming down, but crash down it does.

Brian Gurrey and Lee Danley are bidding on an old home on a valuable lakefront property. Brian manages to undercut the competitor's bids but angers Lee, who doesn't think they'll make a profit at that price. When they return to hunt for valuables, they notice that a Key Largo boat and trailer that was there the day before is now gone — along with whatever cash they could have sold it for.

The Danley Demolition team is bidding on a fire-damaged split-level home. So Brian is especially surprised when his partner, Lee, normally the conservative one, puts in a low bid. With Kip on his way with the heavy machinery, Brian, Lee, Eric and Gina scramble to find what valuables they can, which turn out to be a small box with old currency, a classic Miss America Special bicycle and an old piano.

The team from Danley Demolition gets into a bit of a bidding war at a fire-damaged house in an upscale neighborhood. While digging through the mess inside, Brian and Eric strike sports gold — a bat signed by both Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle, a Bobby Orr hockey stick and an authenticated baseball signed by none other than Babe Ruth.

Brian, Lee, and the rest of Danley Demolition head to Claremont, New Hampshire, to tear down an abandoned paper mill complete with a 16-story metal smokestack. It seems unlikely that there's any good stuff left in the structures, but the guys find quite a few treasures.

Brian and Lee of Danley Demolition are in Manchester, New Hampshire, to bid on the demoliton of an abandoned boarding house nicknamed "the Toilet Farm." In an effort to beat out their competitor, Boston Jim, they bid lower than they're comfortable with, which only increases the pressure on them to find good stuff hidden away. Unfortunately, Brian and Lee completely overlook a tank in the basement with more than 50 gallons of oil in it. At the last minute, the oil tank is spotted, averting an environmental mess.
