You can't eat your status as a gigantic icon to science fiction fandom

Now on e-bay, the opportunity to eat dinner with Harlan Ellison! Starting at $5,000 (and there have been no bids as of yet) you can make your own way to LA, where Ellison will take you, your optional companion, his wife and a celebrity friend (to be determined) to a restaurant that he will choose himself. He will pick up the tab from the money that you just spent on him, except for any alcohol that you or your optional companion might drink - he wants you to pay for that.

Of course now, also thanks to e-bay, you can show up to dinner in Stan Lee's car. Described as "a long, lean 1987 Mercedes 420 SEL gray touring sedan," this deal comes with Lee's vanity plate "MRVLCMX" and he will autograph it "on dashboard or wherever desired. Excelsior!" Current bidding is $3,550, and the reserve has not been met. Added Bonus!: "Countless celebs have sat in the comfortable leather seats."
