\nIt’s your chance to own a small piece of “The Sopranos.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Memorabilia from the hit HBO series – which ended its six-season run with a controversial final episode last weekend – will be available at a warehouse sale in Queens today.<\/em><\/p>\n

But don’t expect to buy the bathrobe that Tony wore to get the paper every morning or the bowling ball bag that once toted Ralphie’s head. A source close to the production said none of the show’s iconic items would be available.<\/em><\/p>\n

Instead, there will be plenty of the furniture, rugs, lamps, antiques and books that decorated the various New Jersey sets in the acclaimed show.<\/em><\/p>\n

The sale – which will also include similar items from other HBO shows – kicks off at 10 a.m. and will be held on a lot across from 21-36 44th Road in Long Island City. The sale runs until next Monday.<\/em><\/p>\n

HBO Fans Hit Yard Sale<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

POSTED: 5:35 pm EDT June 19, 2007
\nUPDATED: 6:03 pm EDT June 19, 2007<\/em><\/p>\n

It wasn’t your grandmother’s yard sale but if you searched hard enough you may have found some items from Uncle Junior’s house, or maybe Tony and Carmela’s house.<\/em><\/p>\n

Bargain shoppers and die-hard fans lined up Tuesday outside a warehouse in Queens, N.Y.<\/em><\/p>\n

They hoped to buy props used on the set of HBO productions, including a few from “The Sopranos.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The furniture included lamps, housewares and trinkets that once decorated the sets of numerous HBO shows.<\/em><\/p>\n

Shoppers were disappointed to discover few familiar props from Tony’s house or the “Bada Bing” were sold at the yard sale.<\/em><\/p>\n

James Gandolfini’s stand-in also went to search for memorabilia.<\/em><\/p>\n

“The stuff I wanted was all shipped off to L.A. The house stuff, the kitchen, the wall clock which I had my eyes on since day one, episode one, eight, nine years ago. Didn’t get that,” Donald Metzger, “Tony’s” stand-in, said.<\/em><\/p>\n

The majority of the well-known props are now in Los Angeles for safekeeping until Time Warner decides what to do with them. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sopranos’ holds garage sale at Queens warehouse<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

June 19, 2007, 7:26 PM EDT<\/em><\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) _ The Sopranos are clearing out of the neighborhood. But first they’re having a garage sale.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s not as if Dr. Melfi’s chair, Tony’s bathrobe or Silvio’s hair care products are for sale, though. All the iconic stuff from “The Sopranos” has been shipped to California while HBO decides what to do with it now that the series is over.<\/em><\/p>\n

Left behind Tuesday at a Queens warehouse were lamps, rotary telephones, Catholic statuettes, kitchen utensils, bed linens, clocks, chairs, more lamps and toys. Not much was recognizable, even to the most devoted fans of the show.<\/em><\/p>\n

In fact, most of it is quotidian, “The Sopranos” producer Henry Bronchtein said.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Ten years of junk, that’s what we’ve got here,” Bronchtein said. “But you know, one person’s junk is another person’s treasure.”<\/em><\/p>\n

If your idea of treasure is a yellow flour jar with fairy tale characters that might or might not have been in the kitchen of a character who disappeared after two episodes, it’s yours for a dollar.<\/em><\/p>\n

“If it doesn’t get sold here,” Bronchtein said, “it’s going to wind up in a big Dumpster, crushed and useless.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Despite the reverse sales pitch, fans of the show made the trek to the warehouse around the corner from Silvercup Studios, the soundstage where most of the show’s interiors were shot. The critically acclaimed series ended its run this month after debuting in 1999.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jerome Jordan said he came to find the stripper pole from the Bada Bing, the strip club that was Tony’s home away from home.<\/em><\/p>\n

That wasn’t available. But Jordan picked up a 6-inch horse statue he’s sure was on the set during the brief period Tony owned a race horse.<\/em><\/p>\n

George DelFarno drove from southern Delaware for the sale. He bought a desk lamp that looked like one of Tony’s _ the one the FBI put a bug in during an early season.<\/em><\/p>\n

It wasn’t the actual lamp, but owning a lamp that looked just like the one that had been bugged and was owned by the production company _ well, that was close enough.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Seven degrees of separation,” DelFarno said with a laugh. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
