I can confirm that 100% of the bid will go to AMSAT (as I manage the eBay/MissionFish account for AMSAT) but I am not sure if the bidder gets the tax deduction as it is the seller that is donating the money to AMSAT.

C'mon, fellow sat folks. This is another unique AMSAT item up on eBay. (Remember the prototype AO-40 mounting bracket auction? I have it!)
Not only will your bid/donation DOUBLE with the DARA pledge ... but your CPA will probably advise you that there's a tax incentive for next April 15 by purchasing this item!
Expecting spirited bidding,
