1.0 - FAQ
1) What's a Spiral Knight Bounty Hunter?
A player who hunts specific items within any given budgets for corresponding rewards.
2) We have the Bazaar. Why would this have any purpose?
The forum community composes only a fraction of the game's player base. As such, the "Bazaar" market is thereby limited to players that visit the forums.
Bounty Hunters expand this 'limited' market by linking 'Forum-made' requests with potential sellers that do not visit the forums.
Basically, you're simply hiring someone to do all the 'item hunting' effort for you.
3) How does this work?
There are two sides to this thread.
~1) The Bounty Hunters; players who fulfill requests.
~2) The Employers; players who post requests to find certain items.
4) What's the risk?
For employers, there is no considerable risk. Naturally, employers Do Not pay reward(s) until AFTER a request is fulfilled.
For bounty hunters, please be aware that this thread works on a first come, first serve basis. Only the first player/hunter to successfully fulfill a request is able to redeem any corresponding rewards.
5) How do I register?
Employers aren't required to register; they simply need to make requests in the proper format.
Bounty Hunters are required to register; the registration is available on section 1.3

Hello again raptor, Interesting thread. i'm not sure how this pertains to the bazaar but it's not up to me to decide. i commend you on the time and effort it take to create and monitor these threads of yours. Just figured i would "chime-in" to offer some suggestions on your new venture. First off, You have listed under FAQ , item #2 " Why would this have any purpose?" then you proceed to say" Not every player uses the forums. Bounty hunters might use non-forum methods like searching in-game or on steam" which doesn't make much sense. If you are targeting the "non-forum" demographic then how do you expect those people to find it. Secondly when you state "please be aware that this thread works on a first-serve basis" I think you meant to say "please be aware that this thread works on a first come first serve basis" meaning the first people to ask for your service will be served first. That is all, just attempting to be helpful after a rather rocky 1st encounter...:) Free bump.

I wish the AH had something akin to this, i.e. reverse auction.

"So say that I'm looking for a Snarbolax coat normal max. I could request that here?"
Yes.
Do keep this in mind though: There is no gaurantee that a bounty hunter may successfully fulfill a request.
It will depend on the time you're willing to wait before revoking the request or letting it expire.
It will depend on if any bounty hunters are tempted enough to put in the necessary effort to successfully find the requested item.
As for the reward, that acts as an incentive for bounty hunters to hunt. Naturally, hunters are tempted into seriously searching for a requested item that has an enticing reward. Plus, bounty hunters compete when fulfilling requests; since only one player gets rewarded when a request is fulfilled. This may potentially speed up how long it takes for a requested item with a corresponding budget to be found.
All feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Raptor~
