The auctioneer: 'At a house sale you can find a local little old lady might well pay £100 for the gas cooker which in Glasgow might only fetch a fiver.' The dealer: 'As usual at these house sales there's far too many people getting in the way. They're always interested in looking in other people's houses. They're basically nosey.' The scene: Earlshall, a castle in Fife.
On sale: Over one thousand lots, from a food mixer to a medieval chess board.
The prices: From El to £16,000. Producer KEITH ALEXANDER
