Hello everyone, I have recently been approached by Collin Almeida about buying the rights to the templates that I exclusively own at http://www.hungrytourists.com . He promises a sweet deal, but basically my company would be forced to generate new templates. Can someone please provide me with some insight on the multi-millionairre's interest in a few templates? He's all over the web talking about his success with reprint rights. I'm confused. Please help.

In addition, he probably has very little interest in designing sites, he's really just a business man. Why me?

i dont get it, if you already exclusively own them why would you need to buy them from him?

ah nevermind i see, he wants to buy them from you. maybe you could negotiate some sort of deal where you retain the right to use and sell the templates on your site.

In any case where you have doubt, consult with a lawyer, and get stuff down on paper.

I've never heard of him but I agree with Abhishek that you should consult with a lawyer in any business deal like this. The way I'd look at it is if he wants to buy them for a lot of money, sell them and then make some more templates!

Also this site not that good looking (http://www.hungrytourists.com). Look at the sloppy fonts on the mainpage. Also the templates are not worth the price he is offering . I can design my own site similiar. Go to this restaurant site which is way better than his templates. wschinabistro.com this site is more updated and way cleaner for a prodessional site.
