directly to the CC & GTCC or the MOGH are tax deductable for the amount paid minus the fair market value.

So for example if someone purchased a grab bag, the fair market value should exceed the amount of the donation so no deduction would be allowed.

However in the case of the Playmate chips you sold, that delta can be claimed.

Please remember it is up to the person claiming the donation to deduct fair market value for what they purchased.
