    Hello Everyone,

    Was looking for information about templates cd's you see on ebay, and even sold by a few members here. I've seen a few that contained templates that I was interested in, but shy'd away. Since the cd-roms were so cheap for like 100's of templates, I was trying to figure was I getting what I paid for. Some files, no license, or a license requiring too many strings attached.

    Are this cheap templates usable? Are their CD sellers that can be recommended?

    Thank you,

    tom

    Sve your money, those things are just garbage. I bought a cd and ended up with hundreds of templates in hundreds of zip files, without any preview image, so it is impossible to know what template it is unless you unzip it.

    I bought one of them on ebay. I'm making a template site, so I thought it'd be a good start. Lots of them suck really bad. Since there are no preview images, they are difficult to work with. Lots of duplicate ones in there as well, so in the end, you get about 1/2 of what's promised and about 60% of what you do get, really sucks.

    Yeah, definitly don't waste your money. Most of the templates your get will be low quality and a thousand other people will have them, most you can download for free online!

    Hey Soapy,

    Did you get round to doing that?

    I just did a search for templates in DP because I am interested to buy one of those cd packages too but didn´t know which to go for. Seems TommyD and I are looking for the same thing. Did you find anything Tommy?
