There are plenty of amateur books that would be greatly improved by a couple of hours of basic editing. There are a lot more that would need 6-10 hours to make them coherent & readable at all, and there'd be no way to making a pricing system that could tell those apart.

Never say "never."
The price-point you suggest would sound reasonable to me, for instance. Of course, that's a relative thing... it would seem expensive to some, and cheap to others. But I believe it would be do-able in some organization (though maybe not any existing ones).
