I'd pay $50 to have a UX expert look at a feature in my app and give me feedback.

Often I find myself looking for input on a problem, but actually hiring someone is such a hassle, that it just doesn't pay off for small projects.

I'd take $0 to add you on skype and chat about your entrepreneuriality. I'd like to own a tesla someday.

Show me what you've got before you ask me to log in.

I think Tastekid did this really well.

$500/m - $1000/m

Someone to do all the chores for my house:

Internal cleaning, cut grass, clean the pool, trim hedges, weeding, fold towels plus odd jobs that are once a quarter - spring cleaning type things / discarding broken or old toys, selling stuff on ebay etc.

You can almost definitely find someone to do that. Try craigslist.

I guess that is what I am paying for - not needing to interview a bunch of people on craigslist. Have that trust/reputation from the beginning. I guess HomeJoy tried this.

Why would thought leaders and well-known VCs want to do that?

I'd pay for a protocol or API test suite to help me build compliant clients and servers.

For example let's say I want to make my own HTTP client like curl. Instead of relying solely on the RFC or spec, I can additionally use this test suite to run my code against the spec and as many edge cases possible. I expect the HTTP product to cover the usual header grammar but also timeouts, HTTP/2 upgrades, encoding mismatch, etc.

I can see myself paying $100 and over depending on complexity.

I'd pay %20 for a tool that will let others pay for what they say they want before I go build it for them, to prove that they actually want it instead of just talk.
