Host Fiona Bruce was in the city to introduce the show and to welcome people to the valuation.
Among those queuing up was David Roy, of Coupar Angus, who had a painting signed “Nelson”.
He said: “It’s been excellent. We came looking for information on a family heirloom and we received it.
“It’s been really good fun. There was several thousand people here and we have enjoyed talking to the other people.
“We have met some very interesting people and part of the fun has been chatting to the other people in the queue and getting their stories.
“It has brought people in from all over Scotland and it has put Dundee on the map as well.”
