An offer he couldn’t refuse: Sopranos diner booth sells for $82,600

Co-owner Chris Carley asked for opening bids above $3,000 on eBay, reportedly aiming for $10,000 towards a renovation

More than 15 years after the cliffhanger final scene of The Sopranos screened in 2007, the classic American diner booth where it was filmed was sold at auction for a price that eventually cranked up to $82,600.

The TV mob drama, which the Guardian once described as “the most masterful show ever”, memorably saw the patriarch character Tony Soprano and his family sit in that booth in a New Jersey diner in the final scene of the series.
