"We are auctioning off the well endeared booth on eBay starting today. Place your bid on this once in a lifetime chance to personally own 'the booth.'"

The booth, where Tony Soprano, Carmela and A.J. wait for Meadow to finally park that car. The booth, which became a makeshift memorial after the death of James Gandolfini. The booth, which has been a must-see stop on Sopranos tours.

"Obviously, we aren't going to change the nostalgia of our beloved shoppe," Holsten's posted. "We aren't crazy! Just polishing up the place!"

Fans push back on sale of Tony Soprano's booth

Fans on Facebook immediately posted comments begging the owners to reconsider the sale.

Holsten's responded: "Please understand that we 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."
