Hedheld makes the best points heree.  Personally, I would never ever pay for a tutorial.  Chances are, the information to do what you want to know how to do in Blender is out there somewhere, for free.  It's up to you to ask questions in forums, and do some intelligent googling to find it.  Heck, I've learned how to do some things in Blender just by following tutorials for different software too, so the answers are out there.  I would pay only for a service maybe that put all the most professional tutorials, the really advanced stuff, into one single location and charged a membership.  So long as the information there was updated with new stuff often, I'd pay for that.  I'd never pay for just random tuts on how to do this or that, because that info is out there, sometimes you just have to ask.

Sharing information seems to be alive a well, and I have a lot more respect and willing to support people who share information for free, and then maybe charge for their high quality works.  Ok, sorry for carrying off topic, that was just an interesting deviation in the thread, and I wanted to share my two cents.
