I'm one of those folks that need brainstorming help. I don't know if I'd pay for ideas... if I got stuck on something for an extended period of time and my friends couldn't help, then maybe. But I do have a good network of friends.
As far as finding such people, I've learned the term "idea flow" to describe a scale by which you may be able to identify people to help in this arena. People with a high idea flow (most likely you) tend to come up with ideas very quickly and have little trouble brainstorming. The trade-off is that they cannot focus easily on one subject for a long period of time. People with a low idea flow (like me), however, can concentrate and focus themselves quite easily - they often will "beat a dead horse" (for lack of a better term) in conversation. The trade-off there is that it is very difficult to look at an object or idea from different angles... and even when this is done, it isn't quickly.
I do hope that helps.
