Would you buy the diner booth that was featured in the Sopranos finale?

Holsten's is a diner in northern NJ where the very last scene of The Sopranos was set. I remember watching it as it aired on HBO, watching Meadow frantically try to parallel park, and Tony selecting Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" on the tableside jukebox. I'll never hear that song again without thinking of that Sopranos episode. The ending was controversial for its fading to black without making it clear what happened to Tony. (spoiler alert: Writer David Chase after many years eventually said that of course it was obvious that Tony got whacked) Anyway the diner is now selling the booth where the Soprano family sat for their final meal together. Last I checked the bidding was over $60,000. I cannot fathom spending that kind of money for a diner booth. I wouldn't even spend that much money to bring James Gandolfini back from the dead to have dinner with. Someone will spend a stupid amount of money for it though. Those people have more money than sense.

It is a good series and that last episode was intense. My favorite episode was from season 3 and is called "Pine Barrens". So funny

I agree. Owning things like this is not too wise. At the same time, I bet the price the booth fetches 20 years later will probably be more, and so it's really, in the eyes of people who buy these things, an investment.

I would not spend that money because I COULD NOT spent that money in that. I don´t have it. And I´m perfectly happy cooking my own meals and applauding myself when I spend little in cooking something delicious!

To each his own. I can think of a lot more pieces of memorabilia that I'd rather have. Have a good week...
