On the other hand I recall a member of this website recalling when he as a kid broke into the old Hippodrome when it was derelict so can't say there's anything much new under the sun.

When an owner of a building calls in a demolition contractor the cost will depend on the amount of salvageable items that contractor sees as saleable.
You only need to google 'architectural salvage' to find out what big business this is and that the minimum amount will end up crushed and not reusable/resalable.
The building no matter how delelict, belongs to somebody and whatever its worth might be -it should not be entered by persons out of curiosity, because a way in will then be available to salvage thieves.
