Internet company Ebay will be auctioning memorabilia from AMC’s hit television show, Mad Men, for charity.

The memorabilia from seasons one through three will benefit California’s City of Hope hospital. Among the pieces is clothing, furniture, and various props. Starting prices are ranging from as low as $1.25 for a chair to several hundred dollars for some of the dresses. A walk-on role with Mad Men is expected to be the highest bid item.

Some of the memorabilia includes oft-speculated sizing guides, such as the dresses for Betty Draper, Bobbie Barrett, and Joan Holloway. The furniture includes couches and sofas notorious for their liaisons between characters during the show. As the fourth season began, a change in location was taking place. The fourth season will be taking place at a new advertising agency. It is believed that the auction was a way for Mad Men to give away excess memorabilia while also helping charity.

Mad Men, broadcast on AMC, premiered with its fourth season on July 25. The series follows advertising executives and their employees in the 1960s. Currently, Mad Men has won nine Emmy Awards and four Golden Globes, for the historical authenticity and stylistic renderings of the show.
