Now we understand; it was SOP for the 3rd Reich to pay Reichsmark 100,000 in gold for taking a collaborator, living or dead.

Incorrect. Mihailovic (specifically his small group in Serbia proper and not those west of the Drina River) didn't begin to openly collaborate until much later in the war. The Germans naturally viewed him as in irritant up until that point, which is why he was a wanted man.

But that all changed once he began openly collaborating.

His followers west of the Drina River and in Montenegro began open collaboration much sooner, many from the summer of 1941.
