I'm saying that inside some psd files are certain things that would have been done at an earlier time ( not specifically for this project - but for many project in the past) and is used many times over by the designer.

Now, if these started from the same or a similar template, it was in my opinion a waste of time to use a template because none of them look anything alike in my opinion.

I'm not talking about all designs/designers/psd files. But this may apply to some, in my opinion some happens to be a lot ( i may well be wrong)

The member area templates are ALL the same for those sites (aside from the headers). I needed to change some buttons for the member area pages. For ex. I did not want some pages to have graphical links to our "chat" or "e-shop" pages. But ALL of the pages had those buttons. So having the .psd files I could quickly and easily change the buttons and go on my way. Some of these buttons had text the came off of the nav bar, so just modifying the original button wopuld not work. The whole header had to be adjusted.
This small issue took me but a few minutes because I had the .psd files. In talking to the designing and working out a deal for another 5 designs, I would have thought that for that much work throwing in the .psd's wouldn't have been a big deal.

Yep, I'm not saying not to give the client the psd.I think they should be included ( i would want them) but i think the designer has a right to be paid for what he or she provides. To me it's like getting a plane ticket that you can change the date/flight etc ( you pay more for those options).
