I had a similar problem. To solve it, I took a slightly different approach. Instead of a JSON object, I used arrays of hidden form variables. As long as the variable names matched up, model binding worked like a charm.

function AddDomainBasket(domainName, price, available) {

    if ( typeof AddDomainBasket.counter == 'undefined' ) {
        AddDomainBasket.counter = 0;
    }

    $("#some_form").append('');
    $("#some_form").append('');
    $("#some_form").append('');

    ++AddDomainBasket.counter;
}

And then submit the serlialized form

$(this).parents('table').find('input:checked').each(function () {
    AddDomainBasket($(this).parent().parent().find('.name').html(),
                    $(this).parent().parent().find('.price span').html(),
                    $(this).parent().parent().find('.available').html() ==   "Available");
                }
            });

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: Url.BasketAddDomain,
    data: $('#some_form').serialize(),
    success: function (basketHtml) {
        },
        error: function (a, b, c) {
            alert('A problem ocurred');
    }
});
