I would pay $3/month for Robinhood ROI numbers on a per transaction basis.
I would pay $200/month for high-quality data engineering/science leads.
Is this leads for offering your data engineering/science solution to (IE Businesses). Or hiring leads? Or something else?
The service would provide leads for data science/engineering consulting.
You do realize this can not ever work :)?
I would pay $10/month for new things to do in my city (Denver).
subscribe to a news paper. The likely have an "arts and culture" section with things to do
Would you pay $10 a month + (some budget you determine) to receive a "You're doing X this weekend" type email/calendar invite . It would be complete with instructions of what you need to do, where you need to be and what it is.

Thoughts?

I think it could be free and you could monetize from businesses who need customers.
I might bend it to be customer pays tho w/ no kickback so that the customer knows we're in their corner. Otherwise I may as well just send everyone to whomever pays me the most.
A slightly different model, but Meetup.com lets you do this for free.
I would pay $45/month for an stock options trading course.
What would you want to learn from this course? Are you looking for a strategy or an explanation on how options/spreads/etc. work or something else entirely?
second option, explanation on how options/spreads/etc.
Cool, I was a derivatives trader for about 6 years, let me know if you want to discuss more of what you'd like to learn. My email is in my profile.
No need to pay - check out tastytrade for a great primer/entertaining resource. (Free, unaffiliated - I watch their live show daily.)
I'd pay someone who can understand math equations and explain them to me in an intuitive way.
https://betterexplained.com might be worth checking out.
this website is great, but I want to have someone to explain the latest papers to me.
You mean, you want someone to explain to you a recent scientific paper about something? "Vulgarization as a service" or "crowd sourcing vulgarization", that might be an idea.
I would pay $50/Month to get real valuable leads on businesses/owner that are considering selling their online product based SAAS business.
There's two options for this (although, not $50 / month):

- Opportunity Overload: http://opportunityoverload.com/

- FE International is a broker that does this: http://feinternational.com/

Okay. What would you pay? $15, $20, $30 per month for a weekly digest?
I will pay $20/Month for solid leads. But again, the leads have to be really high quality otherwise it is not worth it.
Heads up - when I was working for a lead gen company, they would charge per lead, not on a monthly basis.

Also, I assume you'd want to be the exclusive recipient (or nearly the exclusive recipient) for these leads, because for most of the business brokers out there you can get a newsletter with the newest businesses for sale, though maybe not filtered as you'd like it.

I would pay anything for my kids to sleep through the night.
They will eventually.

And then they won't.

And then they will again.

I feel at home here because I want to get rich too.
I would pay $10 per month for a weekly menu with recipes and grocery list.
I would pay $10 for something to block those email subscription popups.

$15 to block the ones that have the cutesy and smug "no thanks" messages like "no thanks, I don't enjoy money saving tips"

I would pay X for an app that could maximize the happiness of deciding where to go eat...say I have a list of 3 choices, they have a list of 3 choices, we don't know each other's 1st choice or any choice for that matter, just that there was an agreement, and we're both satisfied.
Pick two and flip a coin.

When the coin is in the air, you will know which option you really want. Or you will go with what the coin has chosen, absolving you of the consequences of making the choice. "this restaurant sucked" "dont blame me, the coin picked it"

The OP seems to be talking about when two people are trying to settle this question and may have different priorities.
Wouldn't the coin flip still apply to that situation? He is asking for "something" else to make the decision. Coin\App\Dart throw\etc all work
I don't believe that fulfills the conditions described, no.
We built an internal app similar to this at a previous workplace. It was a small company and most people would go out to lunch together every day. Getting everyone to agree where to go was the hardest part. The app would email everyone in the office at 11am so they could opt-in or opt-out that day. Based on who was going, the app would recommend 3 restaurants from Yelp and put them up for a vote. Voting would be open for an hour and ultimately we would go to lunch at the restaurant with the most votes. We trained it to be "smart" about its recommendations, taking into consideration who was going to lunch and their previous voting history. Neat idea, and it probably could have been generalized to work for happy hour, date night, or other group events.
I would pay $0 for idea.... so is this author.
I would pay $0 for ideas... like this :)
Some might dismiss your idea as silly -- but you're the only one in this thread who got exactly what he wanted for the price he offered.
Gladly:

  X = 'you on Tuesday'
  Y = 'a hamburger today'
I figured that I lack leadership/social skills. I would pay $1000-$2000 over an year for helping me develop a few of these skills and help me earn an extra 10k-20k per year at my day job. I am at staff engineer level now. Essentially, I am looking for mentor/coach. If interested, send email to iamanonymouscoward@gmail.com
Check out your local Toastmasters, some of which specialize in specific industry domains. They are a collegial, supportive group. You will be thrown in the deep end of the pool and your skills will advance quickly. It is also very affordable and the processes have stood the test of time. I am 3 speech milestones in and by next year will have my competent communicator and competent leader certifications. Maybe even advanced leader certification based on a city-wide/district level (Shanghai) project I am working on. A great org.
I would pay 15$/month for better desktop linux distribution. Something with the polish of mac os/windows/chrome os, but running on a standard linux plarform.

2000 for a 14 inch ultrabook with a great screen, great keyboard and great batery life

A good chunk of money for ads free, in depth technical articals

I would pay 1% equity to someone who would do all the damn VC chasing.
There should be VC agents then who take a commission. They could take a commission from the VC so no loss to you.
AUD$4 for a freshly ground large decaffe skinny soy flat white in a takeaway cup.
