Call yourself a Heartland superfan? Now's your chance to own a piece of the show

If you've spent one too many hours binge-watching old seasons of Heartland, there's an auction with your name on it.

The popular television showisbased on a fictional book series of the same name by Lauren Brooke.It follows Amy Fleming, her sister, Lou, and the rest of their family through the ups and downs of living on an Alberta-based ranch.

Until this Sunday, fans of one of Canada's longest-running TV dramas 17 seasons so far will have the chance to buy props and other items from the showin a live online bidding war that's garnered international attention.

"We've gotten people registered from around the world," said Kevin King, president of Halls Auction Services the website that's hosting the sale.

"I talked to some lady from Australia today and someone from Scotland has expressed interest, certainly a lot of Americans."

While there are still days to go before the winning bids are awarded their prize, King said certain items have soared in popularity since being posted.

The bid on one of Amy's cowboy hats worn in the show currently sits at $1,100. Theengagement ring belonging to Ty Amy's husband until Season 14 is another hot ticket item, sitting at a price of $220.

Other items for sale include pieces of Lou's jewelry, Lou's adopted daughterGeorgie'spink trick riding outfit, Amy and Ty's business cardsand a table and chairs fromthefictitiousMaggie's Diner.

The auction marks the first time the show has sought to sell off items at this scale. Executive producer Tom Cox said the team was motivatedby the fans, and by a dwindling amount of storage space.

"We realized that we had an enormous amount of wardrobe especially, but a few props and set [decoration] items as well from early seasons mainlythat were not in active use," he said.

"And we decided thatwe could do two good things at once. We could clean out our closets and drawers and cupboards a little bit to make room for new items ... and at the same time do something interesting that might be fun for fans."

Cox said thetwo charities chosen to receive a portion of the auction's proceedswere inspired by cast members.

"Amber Marshall, who plays Amy, is very, very involved in the conservation and humane treatment ofwild horses ... and so theWild Horses of Alberta Society was a choice that she was certainly involved in.... And Michelle [Morgan], who plays Lou, is very involved in the Calgary Food Bank."

After learning about the auction, fans expressed fears over social mediathat it signalled the end of the beloved show.

Cox said that couldn't be further from the truth, as the show is expected to return for an 18th season.

"This ... show remains very popular ... and it continues to do well around the world. So this is not at all to do with a lying down.This only has to do with making roomso that hopefully in the seasons to come we can purchase new things."

The auction will officially end at 12 p.m. MT on Sunday, March 24. To take part, fans have to register online at Halls Auction Services before placing any bids.

Even Cox said he's tempted to get in on the action.

"I have to say I've had my eye on the table and chairs from Maggie's.But I have a young daughter who is also eyeing a couple of Amber's old pieces of clothing. Ashirt with a peace sign on itcaught her eye in particular."
