Putting a bounty on the thing you're stuck on.

One of the makers we work with needs a manufacturer for his physical product. He currently makes the product himself. And he's about to produce a ton of it to fulfill some orders. The problem is that he's making a product without an ideal analog (so it requires some serious and specific manufacturing expertise). And given the size of the order (and knowing that manufacturing could help him get lots more of these orders), he'd pay $1,000 for someone to find him this perfect person.

So, it got me thinking ...

Whether it be finding the right person, getting the right thing, learning what you need to learn ... what's the thing you're stuck on?

How much would you pay a "bounty hunter" to find you this thing?
