Donald Pleasance and his evil chair in You Only Live Twice

Do you have a white fluffy cat, lots of extra cash, and a desperate need to complete your creepy Blofeld impersonation?

Well, you’re in luck!

The black chair that Donald Pleasance schemed from during the 1967 movie You Only Live Twice is one of many James Bond items up for bid on Dec. 6 at Julien’s Auctions in Hollywood.

The chair is expected to cost $1500–$3000, which is downright cheap compared to some of the bigger-ticket items in the catalog. Like, for example, the original BD-5J jet that Roger Moore’s 007 flew in 1983’s Octopussy, which is listed at $200,000–$300,000.
