Also on Ebay ... Murdoch's £14,000 Lunch
A charity auction, in aid of the Jerusalem College of Technology, has set a reserve price of $25,000 (£14,000) for lunch with the media magnate.
Given his fortune, his global media empire and his clout with politicians you wouldn't expect to find Rupert Murdoch appealing for dining companions on the internet.
But the media mogul, who owns a string of interests from the Times and the Sun in the UK, to Fox and the New York Post in the US as well as broadcasting enterprises in Asia and Latin America, is using auction site eBay to do just that.
Dining with the News Corporation chairman does not come cheap, however. The charity auction, in aid of the Jerusalem College of Technology, has a reserve price of $25,000 (£14,000).
The winning bidder will be treated to lunch with four friends in the company's New York boardroom.
The 74-year-old executive has long-established links with the Israeli hi-tech industry, with News Corp's satellite TV anti-piracy division NDS having a substantial presence there.
