Seen the second raffle had more participants (as different users) and also had more variation of coin manufacturers I'd say add more manufacturers to make it more interesting.
While it was very fun doing that there were a couple of issues that I'll list below:
1. Fair market prices. Most makers/holders of collectibles often wanted above market price for their items thinking they'd make a quick buck using the raffle.
2. Getting all the makers to work under a timely manner meaning they'd all ship at the same time was a huge pain in the ass. Some of the prizes were sent out just weeks ago meaning it took over 3 months for them to ship out the winnings. Gives me a bad rep as the official holder of the raffle.
3. Shipping costs went out of hand since there were so many different items to many different winners that had to be sent out, something that using one or two entities to send out winnings is a huge benefit to keep cost of tickets down.
4. It was
extremely time consuming organizing it all between 15 different holders of the coins. Keeping track of everything and making sure it went perfect. I lost sleep a lot of the nights just trying to maintain the situation, something I'd prefer not to do again.
Based on that I will not look to do another one of those raffles, sadly. Great idea but horrible experience organizing it.
