I just realized that my account has negative rep. Sorry for the confusion.
It clearly states in the OP terms:

Whoever can find me the EXACT name/ brand of the sunglasses in the above picture will earn $15 USD (paid in BTC).
During the comments I state that the closest answer wins, however, this is a subjective comment and not part of the original terms. In my opinion, no one found sunglasses that were close to what I was after and I did not end up buying any of the suggestions. If the terms changed, why would only half of the agreement change, which means I pay full price for something that I did not want? How is this fair? Notice how critical my subsequent posts are in the thread? Obviously I am seeking something very specific.
I am saddened that people act before using common sense. Not one person messaged me about this thread.
So when I change our deal midway I dont have to honor the changes? You motivated people to invest time in finding something for you with this statement, this is what you wanted according to your own words. Obviously you looked for something specific, but you also said

Closest answer wins. I'll leave this thread open for 48 hours and then declare the winner.
The terms were in the OP. Were the terms changed and was the OP updated?
No.
Here's a car wash example; I state that I'll pay $15 for my car to be washed (this takes x amount of time, effort and material). As I want my car washed promptly, I then tell the washers that they only need to clean the tyres.
So I originally was going to pay $15 for a full car wash, why would I pay $15 for only my tyres (that takes significantly less time, effort and material)? What if I deem the tyre clean unsatisfactory? Would you still pay for a half assed job?
No. IF someone still washed my car fully, then they would be entitled to the original agreement.
I think your reasoning is flawed and I'm not sure why you have 'trust'.
