Entrepreneurs, do you 'outsource'

I've been doing web dev for about 10 years now, quite seriously for the last 5.

Over the last couple years, i've realized that some projects just aren't suited for me.
At first i would just bite the bullet and be miserable with certain projects (flash sites for example)
Then i started increasing my prices and giving high quotes on projects that weren't my thing...but even then, sometimes the client just overpays and i'm stuck doing projects that make me miserable.

Would it be wrong me me to 'pass' the project along to another developer or designer (or firm) that is more specialized in that type of project?

Do i fully pass the buck, or do i be a middle man and make money out of it?

In the long run, i'd like to have trade-offs with other web businesses. they give me projects that i specialize in, and i give them projects that they specialize in.
 
I don't see what's wrong with that. It might lead to a business with multiple people.

I'd say be a middle man for now, until you set something up with other people.
 
You can just outright say "no I don't do flash sites"? Even if you have to, I don't see a problem "outsourcing"; in fact I see it as a smart business decision.
