well the code i recieved when he switched to me worked.... sometimes.... i dont know but personally i wouldn't pay for a buggy program either.




Off course, however time was invested in making the code .. Time costs money. I understand Testdummys point too, he wasn't out to rip someone off either ... just like Gamesaint wasn't out to rip someone off.

I wouldn't buy badly bugged code either and make sure there's a special chapter in the 'contract' to deal with that (like sort of garuantee a zero to maximum x amount of bugs, otherwise fix the bugs for free, something along that lines. However when it's a machine specific bug, it would be more difficult to come to a suitable agreement or if it's a 'feature incompletion' instead of a bug. If it works, but not the way you want it, now that's where the 'grey area' is ... Usually good communication and clear 'demands' in the agreement solve this.).

Don't get me wrong, I think it's fair to expect more or less bug-free code and perhaps the coder should test the code indeed, so he can indeed say he delivered code that 'worked'.
