UPDATE
[The sale for the booth has now concluded, with the iconic piece of television history selling for $82,600 after 238 bids.]
If you are a huge fan of HBO’s “The Sopranos,” have we got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you! New Jersey restaurant Holsten’s has listed the booth from the iconic final scene of the show for auction. This bit of tv history could be yours if you can beat the current highest bid- $65,300.00.
Over 16 years after that final blackout left fans wondering about the fates of Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), Carmela (Edie Falco), and A.J. (Robert Iler), you can own the booth they ate their last televised meal in.
“We are currently renovating our booths at Holsten’s,” the listing reads. “This is your once in a lifetime chance to own the ORIGINAL booth that the Soprano Family sat in for the final scene of the famous show!”
The restaurant has always had a sense of pride about its connection to the popular HBO series. The booth even has a plaque that reads “Reserved for the Sopranos Family.” That plaque is included in the purchase, along with both seats, the table, and the divider wall.
Given the size and weight of “The Sopranos” booth, it is listed for local pick-up only in Bloomfield, NJ. Any shipping arrangements are the responsibility of the winner of the auction. The listing is also clear that the jukebox is not included in this sale. So you’ll have to find another way to listen to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin.’”
The eBay auction for “The Sopranos” booth is open until Monday, March 4th, closing at 10 PM. At the time of this writing, there are already 184 bids on the item (one came in literally as I was typing this sentence). You can check out the booth’s big break below:
