It's a tough call. I think every designer has fallen for this at some point. I know I have and it never amounted to anything. I was out my time and effort, and the client didn't have to put their money where there mouth is.
The chance of the product selling phenominally well is probably fairly slim so my advice would be to negotiate with them. Get paid some cash so you can pay your bills, and work out a deal % for the remainder of services rendered. Maybe 60% cash 40% shares in company...- AND if you do go for it. Have them write up a LEGAL contract spelling everything out.Melanie
