A PSD is something someone can learn design from , we arent selling a design lesson , we are selling a website design or what ever it maybe .
After all why buy 10 gallery templates when You can buy one get the PSD and make a 1000 .

I guess have to agree with this one. I do give PSDs in some circumstances, but not all the time. If I really trust someone or if they have a really valid reason for asking for it, then it's not a problem. But it's not a good idea, IMO, to release full PSDs to just anyone.
PSDs are somewhat like software... most programmers don't release the source code of their programs for a very good reason, and some even go to great lengths to encrypt the source. PSDs can contain custom layer styles, gradients, patterns, shapes... all kinds of things that a designer spends time creating and perfecting... and all kinds of things that clients could just rip and use themselves over and over. Unless you're charging a premium price, or unless you trust the client implicity, why take that risk?
