Seems counterproductive to claim that this is a "bad idea". The only point you prove is why you're not going to be his customer. Lets see how many people take him up on this to wait and see if its a bad idea.

Yeah sure, let's see how many insecure people he can find to charge before we class it as a bad idea.

Exactly, it's one person's opinion, and you know next to nothing about him, so why should you value his opinion.
But if he makes money from giving people unqualified advice on random subjects, good for him I guess.

You aren't legally prevented from spending $10 at other honesty vendors in addition to this one, or required to follow the advice in order to avoid a penalty.

There are other honesty vendors? Who else is doing this?
Plus, like vlunkr said, I don't know the guy, if I wanted the honest feedback of random strangers I can already get that for free on the Internet. It's not exactly like brutal honesty is in short supply, and if you target the right places it can be articulate as well.
This is a bad idea. Fine, you pay $10 for someone's honest opinion, but it's just one person's opinion, you really want to consult multiple sources to get a balanced view, otherwise you could make a bad decision based on another person being in a shitty mood (for whatever reason).
Plus, I find friends will be honest with you if you expressly give them permission to be, and promise not to take it personally.
