A pair of PEZ dispensers featuring soon-to-be newlyweds Prince William and Kate Middleton sold for more than $10,000 on auction site eBay, according to media reports on Monday.

A man from Connecticut paid $13,360 for the candy dispensers, according to Reuters.

PEZ said that the proceeds for the auction will go toward charity and will only sell the Kate and Prince William dispensers via eBay. “The proceeds will all go to a charity supported by Prince William and Kate Middleton,” said PEZ in a statement.

There were 33 bids submitted overall, but the record for the PEZ dispensers fall short of the all-time record set in 2006 when someone paid $32,000 for an Astronaut B model dispenser.

Prince William and Middleton will wed on April 29. Several wedding rehearsals have already taken place.
