Price to me seems fair and if I played Zerg (and therefore no longer needed coaching from YaMaMa :P) I would totally support Eldrid by getting some lessons. I mean, if you are someone who (like me) thinks "I can invest this money, and as a result I will be a better player", I really don't see how whether it's $15 or $25 makes much difference.

Don't take this as me saying "It's only 10 bucks" - I'm a poor uni student! I don't have $10 to throw away. I just think that you can't really quantify the improvement you will make as a result of coaching and trying to do so probably means you have uncertain/unrealistic expectations. As someone with a history of paying for coaching, it's not all about the teacher. Mostly, it comes down to the student and how they work to internalise what the coach is saying outside the lesson. Next, it is the relationship between the student and coach - if you can't stand to listen to the guy for an hour on Skype, or their teaching method doesn't sync with your learning method, then you've picked the wrong coach. Coaches have a professional responsibility to make sure they are putting in 100% effort to the coaching session (which means preparation outside the lesson also) but frankly, you don't just buy a promotion for $15/$20/$25.

Regarding the complaints about pricing, Eldrid; have you considered bulk discount pricing? It's very common for coaches to offer 3-4 lesson packages for a bit cheaper, e.g. $25/lesson or 4 lessons @ $20/lesson. Personally, I love these package deals. I recommend talking to some other coaches and find out how many of their lessons are one-off vs packages, and what they prefer to book.
