I'll honor my word and will try to get someone else to host a raffle for AP #2
It is a very nice gesture, but IMHO not necessary ... I agree with the other commenters that the format of this auction was fairly standard.
The biggest pain was simply the bulletin-board format of BitcoinTalk, combined with the posting limits imposed on newbies (I had to create 2 separate accounts to keep up with the bids).
