Zaarly's original buyer-centric, bountry-based product didn't work (and pivoted to a more traditional sellers model) http://pandodaily.com/2013/08/19/while-virtual-gigs-thrive-physical-gigs-die/ I remembered the good old Google Answers product (based on bounty) didn't work either? Even buyer-centric (request centric) services like Uber, Lyft, Sidercar ... etc ... use non-bounty based models. Have there been any buyer-centric, bounty-bases services that worked? e.g. "I'd pay $50 for ___ " ... "I'd pay $10 for answer to this question " ... etc thanks!
Taskrabbit and oDesk.
Though over time the most common requests are usually standardized into products to reduce complexity for the buyer. For most buyers the open ended nature of a bounty system is intimidating.
