Elance for hardware: yay or nay?

Hi there,

Just doing a little bit of customer discovery for a site I'd like to launch based on some feedback I received for a previous idea. (which wasn't so hot.)

Basically, hardware and software developers would join forces to work on specific hardware projects. (Say John Smith posts a project to have two arudinos communicate using WiFi Direct and he is seeking help on the wifi part while he focuses on the motor controller stuff. He is willing to pay $350 to have someone work with him in parallel and speed up the project.)

Does this resonate with anyone out there?

Thanks!
