For instance MAA, Oud Archief Aalst, Staten van goed, nr. 1372: 'Actum binnen Eerembodegem' (dated 9 May 1753): 'Conditien op de welcke men wettelyck ende publicquelijck aende meestbiedende ... sal vercoopen de naervolghende meubilaire ef-fecten' ('Conditions regarding the legal and public sales of the following moveables'). The highest bidder was the person who received a clearly audible signal (klopslagh) from the auction official. In case of a dispute, the local authorities would judge the case. Buyers had to pay for their purchases in current currencies within a period of six weeks; a local 'policeman' (the meyer or bailliu) would collect the money. Furthermore, the highest bidder was obliged to pay immediately, 'on the table', some small local taxes (such as a twintighsten (20e) penninck or the wijngeld). Also he had to declare the names of familiar and trustworthy guarantors within the local jurisdiction (goeden ende souf-fisante borgen ... binnen desen vierschare justiciabel). If a financial dispute should arise, the auctioned item would be confiscated and resold. If, as a consequence, the same product fetched a lower price in a subsequent auction, the guarantors had to pay the difference.

Originally the local auctioneer earned a fixed salary for his activities (XII schellingen parisis van 't pond groot, or 3.6 guilders). In the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, however, the local authorities had probably farmed this office out. This arguably gave the stockslager some freedom in settling his earnings, probably a fixed percentage on the value of the auctioned goods

We devised these economic categories of household based on the median value of the tax lists (1750s=10.75 guilders and around 1790=7 guilders). In the 1750s, household category I: 0-5.374 guilders; II: 5.375-10.74; III: 10.75-16.124; IV: 16.125 and more. Around 1790, I: 0-3.4 guilders; II: 3.5-6.9 guilders; III: 7-10.4 guilders; IV: 10.5 and over

To give an idea of the economic activities of the households studied, we analysed the capital goods and the accounts mentioned in the probate inventories of the deceased. These indicators reveal to a certain degree the professional activities of the late owners. Every single household was more or less active in agriculture. In both samples, only a few households possessed horses, carts and ploughs: 16 per cent in the 1750s and 12.5 per cent around 1790. On the other hand almost 90 per cent in the 1750s and 92 per cent around 1790 had some cattle. Around 68 per cent in the 1750s and 67 per cent around 1790 cultivated hops and only 41 per cent in the 1750s and 54 per cent around 1790 grew flax, both commercial produce. Flax-processing and -spinning were quite popular activities; in both samples more than 9 out of 10 households contained capital goods involved in the processing of flax, and 96 per cent in the 1750s and 75 per cent around

Expensive 'older' products like paintings, books, and antiquities were bought as a result of relatively new, emerging motivations such as building a prestigious collection of 'things'. Buying these 'second-hands', however, also links to categories of constructing self-identity and social status through consumption; see Berg and Clifford eds.
