without the psd's I won't buy the work, I paid for that design and own the rights to how it was created. I've never used a psd to make more designs,templates.logos anything, since typically I buy something just for that task. I got burned in the past because I didnt get the psd and the designer is gone, so now I am stuck with a logo that says 100% FREE when the site isn't free anymore (no free trials).

I specifically make sure they provide psd or i'd find a new designer (if I felt I needed it).

Why should a designer charge me $500 and use the same template he used 50 times already and then dick around and take a week to make something? How is that fair? I'm paying for a original design not a mod of someone elses.

Anyhow that's my take on it.
