Show HN: Offering consulting starting at $1 and going up

Neat idea Josh. So have you sold 26 hours then (at time of writing), for a total of $351? What happens when you reach market rate, people just start buying fewer hours? Seems like it might peter out?

As you approach your current billable hour I will be curious how high you get and how long each "purchase" takes e.g. I have watched (and bought) it go from $1 to $31 so far - looking forward to seeing it at $150+ and how long it will take to have someone buy at that price.

very cool experiment, just booked.

fyi, josh is also the author of many blog posts that've appeared on hn: http://notes.unwieldy.net/.

I just had the 1st hour out of 3, and Josh was truly helpful! He is just that kind of outside professional that we needed to have a look at our product with a fresh pair of eyes.

Awesome, is the price updated in realtime?

By the way; the page is completely bork'd on IE9, but you probably knew that. (why do they make me use it?!)

I just modified the JS so that I could buy him for just $1.00. It worked right up to Checkout.

so after 100 hours of work, you think that your advice will be worth $100 an hour?

whatever happened with that 10,000 hours thing? inflation?
