A lucky Sopranos fan shelled out over $82,000 for the booth from Tony Soprano’s last supper.

The owners of Broomfield, NJ ice cream parlor Holsten’s put the booth featured in the hit HBO series’ 2007 finale up for auction last Wednesday, as the 88-year-old shop is being remodeled. After four days on eBay, the bidding war closed at $82,600 on Monday.

The winner doesn’t just get the table and seats—for the hefty price, they receive the divider wall, which features a plaque that reads, “This booth reserved for the Soprano family.” The tabletop jukebox used in the scene is unfortunately not included.

Holsten’s announced the auction on Instagram last week, writing, “The time has come. All good things sometimes need an upgrade. The famous Sopranos booth is getting a much needed face-lift. We are auctioning off the well endeared booth on eBay starting today.”

Holsten’s owners noted in the post that they “don’t want to do this” but “the integrity of the booths are now compromised. They have been repaired many times and this furniture is over 60 years old. Obviously, we do not want to do this, however it has come to a point where they are structurally not safe anymore as a whole and we need to think about the safety of our patrons first.”

While speaking to the New York Post about the auction, owner Chris Carley said the parlor has become a frequently-visited location for Sopranos fans. “We still have people coming in asking to sit in the Soprano booth. We still get bus tours on Saturday and on-location tours. Over the summer you’ll see people taking pictures outside and people taking pictures of the booth,” he said. “It’s not the frenzy it was when it happened 17 years ago, but it’s still quite a popular attraction.”

The Sopranos series finale aired on June 10, 2007. In the scene filmed at Holsten’s, Tony (James Gandolfini) goes to a diner with his family. As the locale’s door opens and Tony looks up, the scene fades to black.
