Another scienceblogger rallies to the cause:
Coturnix at blog around the clock gives us a great write up ('majestic,' no less) and muses on blogging from the Beagle. We will have sat comms, and crew will be able blog their voyage as it happens. We can't get every young scientist who wants to sail aboard, but anyone with an internet connection will be able to take part. Coturnix plugs the other great fundraising ideas, admits he can't knit to support MissPrism's bring and blog (what do they teach Ph.Ds these days? Watson and Crick made several bedspreads while discovering the structure of DNA). Coturnix has offered a copy of his book The Open Laboratory, a compendium of the best writing on science blogs 2006 to a randomly selected donor. Thanks, for the blog entry and the book.
Coturnix' enthusiastic broadsides has been picked up by Turinas of Messing about in sailboats who has also suggested an ebay auction of unwanted stuff for the Beagle. I still have a dream of a Beagle built entirely through the goodwill, originality and vitality of the science community.

Have you considered, rather than a one-time auction bonanza, setting up a long-term store that people can donate to/buy from throughout the run of the project? I'm still on the undergraduate end of the science community, with the predictable financial limitations therein, but I can make lots of pretty stuff to donate if only given time.
