Wait, I take that back. I paid someone upfront last week. Already had a relationship and he had too much to lose by screwing me.
Key word here is relationship. It's got to go both ways.

Same with the one kristin mentioned above. She's now got a working relationship with them. As a provider and as a buyer that works out.

You're not going to get the best product out there without putting something down to get the ball rolling. While I'm sure places like Webinc have companies they work for with credit, the little programs and single webmasters probably don't get that special treatment.
