The .psd files are part of what you are buying, that way if you need a change or a font or even a correction you can do it without having to pay someone for it.
I got ripped hard by a designer this way, not naming names but amp knows him and has had problems with him as well
Refused to give the .psd files, the delivery was shitty although in his defense his graphics where ok, just not worth what was paid..

Not necessarily true.... I never used to give out my source files. That is NOT (contrary to popular opinion) what the customer is buying. The customer is buying the site. Not the source files. If you buy a thumbnailer program, you're buying the program... not the source code that makes it up.
I have very mixed feelings on this still.... but for me, it's moot at this stage because I no longer contract.
Point is: There's no definitive right or wrong regarding source file provision. It comes down to designer discretion.
