Chris Granger does (did?) offer a similar service[1]. I think his price (5000$) is more sustainable for a developer, but I'm not sure how the market is for this

  I've emailed him about this because I wanted to do something similar. If I recall correctly, he got more projects than he had time to work on and people didn't care that it was written in Clojure and not Python or Ruby.

  I got/get lots of offers, but in general the projects were pretty uninteresting (so many clones), people didn't really know what they want, and I found that what people really needed was someone to think through their ideas with them, not a prototype. At that point in time 5k was reasonable. The price would go up quite a bit if I were doing it now though. But I doubt I'd do it again - the work didn't end up being as exciting as I thought it would be. What I would consider doing in the future is the "idea consulting" I discovered most people ended up needing. I have a knack for pulling things apart and putting them back together in interesting ways :)
