Should there be a way to upgrade a non-tip question to a question with a tip?

Should there be a way to upgrade a question to include a tip if you're not satisfied with the answers?

I saw this question( http://www.mahalo.com/answers/web-development/how-do-you-add-a-tip-to-a-submitted-question ) whether or not there was a way to do this and though it would be great to get your feedback on if this would be an option you would use?

Sure you could always re-post the question, but if its a decent question and its just not getting the response you need and you've already flushed out that the responses you've received didn't answer your question.

My suggestion is to allow it by:
1) Mute any answers as "not satisfied/need more information/citation needed"
2) Alert the people who have tried to answer that the question has been upgraded, and for how much. Possibly give them the first shot, kind of like an "Answer it now!" before the question goes live again for a tip.
3) Give the user a space to elaborate on their question.

What do you think? Any other suggestions?
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Reposting is the best thing to do for now. In the future we will probably add the ability to add a tip after the fact AND it would still get put in the #1 slot on Mahalo Answers.

I think that if you want quality answers, you should offer a tip. If you feel that you should have offered a tip but didn't, I'd still just repost it. I think it's more practical to repost it because you'll get top billing on the Answers page.
