We’re less than 16 hours away from the end of the Idol Gives Back auction, and check out these figures.

The high bid on a meet-and-greet with Ryan is $1,825; the high bid on a meet-and-greet with Simon at his last Idol show is more than 10 times that, at $18,600.

That’s not all.

The high bid on a Ryan Seacrest autographed suit is $172. The high bid on a signed Simon Cowell T-shirt is $401.

The auction continues until about midnight PST (which means about 3 a.m. our time). The Idol Gives Back episode is 8 p.m. Wednesday, of course.

The auction is a first-time event, and I’m little surprised there aren’t more items from former Idol contestants up for bid.

Some have been added recently, like a leather jacket, worn by Adam Lambert during last year’s finals; and a guitar signed by Allison Iraheta.

The high bid on that beauty has been $6,200 for a couple of days now. That’s nearly as much as someone is willing to cough up for a music lesson from Kara DioGuardi and Randy Jackson ($6,900).

And if you want a chance to meet the reigning country music Entertainer of the Year, you can bid on that opportunity, too.

The high bid for a meet and greet with Carrie Underwood for a show at the Hollywood Bowl has a current high bid of $3,050.

All those items a little too pricey for your taste?

Hey, you can probably pick up a signed Coca-Cola judges’ cup. High bid so far: about $400.
