Right now it is the most watched item among from the list of things meant for auction.
Friends' first pilot episode went on air on September 22, 1994.
The sweater that Matthew's character Chandler wore was set at $1,500 in the pre sales but its price is expected to go up following his death on October 28. A doctor has been arrested along with a drug dealer, earlier in August, in Perry's death investigation case.

According to a report by New York Post, the Jule’s Auctions wrote: “Chandler can be seen wearing the sweater in Season 7, Episode 10 titled ‘The One With The Holiday Armadillo,’ in a scene at Central Perk where Monica informs him she won’t be changing her last name to Bing. Then again when Phoebe brings her late mother’s Christmas candy dish — a human skull — for the gang’s holiday party."
The Executive Director and Co-Founder of Julien’s Auction, Darren Julien said, “Each item in this 30th anniversary collection is a tangible connection to the magic of ‘Friends,’ one of the most beloved shows in TV history that shaped a generation and made us laugh, cry, and feel like we were part of the ‘Friends’ gang.”
Besides Perry's sweater, there is another item also which is being eyed the most - it is the sweater worn by Jennifer Aniston’s character, Rachel Green. Her sweater is currently priced at $4,000 as of September 01.
