Well, the problem with doing that at this stage of the process is you risk getting the initial price completely wrong and nobody clicks it.

Even though, if you had priced it just $20 lower, everyone would have clicked it.

So by putting price in the mix before you even identify a willing market, you risk missing the ball completely.

You could put up a separate pricing page to see how many people click through to it, and then look at hovers to see where they linger... But that's obviously going a bit deeper than the original idea of slapping up a single page to gauge interest.
You could A/B on price to get the demand curve.
But you still leave open the possibility of not learning the basics of whether or not someone wants the problem solved.
