Central Perk Couch Sells for $30K, Other “Friends” Treasures Go for Thousands at Auction Celebrating Series' Anniversary

Other big-ticket items at the 30th anniversary auction included Ross Geller's Geller Cup Trophy — which sold for more than $9,000

A few lucky fans have gone home with some iconic pieces of Friends history — though for a hefty price.

On Monday, Sept. 23, Warner Bros. Television and Julien's Auctions announced that multiple items from the set of the hit sitcom, including a replica of Central Perk's iconic orange couch, costumes belonging to each of the characters and props from every season, had been sold at auction in honor of the show's 30th anniversary.

During the auction — called "The One with the 30-Year Anniversary Auction" — 110 pieces of memorabilia sold, many of them for well over their anticipated sales prices.

The replica of the friends' beloved orange couch, which was considered the auction's big-ticket item, sold for $29,250 — nearly 15 times its original estimate of $2,000.

"The gang spent many famous scenes on Central Perk's main orange couch, catching up, making jokes, and demonstrating the cast's chemistry," the listing for the couch read. "This item, modelled from the original by Warner Bros., features orange velvet cushions and back pillows with carved brown resin panelling lacquered to look wooden and copper-color tassels adorning the front skirt."

Other items that sold for much more than originally anticipated included included Ross Geller's (David Schwimmer) Geller Cup Trophy (below), from the season 3 episode "The One with the Football," which sold for $9,100 — 30 times its original estimate of $300.

In the show, the creepy-looking trophy served as the Friends gang's prize for winning a game of football during the Thanksgiving episode. The auction item was a studio-made replica.

"Ross and Monica tell the others that they have been forbidden to play football by their parents ever since a long ago Thanksgiving when they played the annual 'Geller Bowl' to win the prized 'Geller Cup,' " the listing says in part. "After all of the build up everyone is surprised to see that it's a doll nailed to a piece of wood."

Monica Geller (Courteney Cox)'s striped brown season 9 top (above) was just one of many clothing items worn by the cast that sold for over the asking price at $2,275. A blue cashmere sweater worn by Chandler Bing (the late Matthew Perry) in season 7 sold for $6,500, and one of Rachel Green's (Jennifer Aniston) sweaters from the episode “The One With The Truth About London” sold for $6,500, more than six times its $1,000 estimate.

Tons of other furniture items from the characters' apartments also went home for thousands of dollars. Ross' apartment dresser went for $10,400, and props like the warning bulletin with a police sketch of Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) from season 5 sold for $520, more than double its asking price.

Julien's Auctions CEO David Goodman said in the release: "Thirty years since its debut in 1994, people from all over the world are still falling in love with Friends as evidenced by the success of today’s 30th anniversary auction."
