If you tell your friends and family you are off to Starbucks, they will probably think that you are coming back home with a takeaway latte and some hot fruit toast, or sitting in the cafe meeting friends or doing some work 'on the go'.
But if you tell them that the shopping trip is going to cost at least £153,000 and could take many weeks, then they are definitely going to know they have made a mistake or misheard you.
And they would be right, because this shopping trip is all about bidding and hopefully securing at auction a rarely available cottage in a popular rural village situated on Starbuck Street.
