it is amazing enough to find a pr10 offering links. i don't think i have ever seen one before.
the statistics sites are definately the way to go. just do a search at google for webstats or something similar. there are pr7's and pr8's 50-60 websites deep.
another site genre i have noticed that seems to have consistantly high pr, are directory sites...and they appear TO PASS pr, where the sats sites don't.....

Depends. There are a lot of variables.
A high PR9 and a low PR10 are about the same thing. Also, some techs say the Google toolbar is just a rough guess of PR. The amount of links out on the page also makes a huge difference. A PR9 with 10 links out may be better than a PR10 with 20 links out.
Ideally, if a page is passing good PR, it should pass you one less than its own rank. (IE: A good PR8 would give you a PR7) Some think you need more than 1 PR8 to get a PR7, but I think thats only because most PR pages being sold arent really all that good.
One way to check what rank an index page passes is to look at its inside pages. If a PR8 index page passes PR7 to its own inside pages, chances are it will pass PR7 to you. Best way to check... Look at links out you know have been there for two months, and see what their rank is.
I dont know any 100% sure way to pick good links. My strategy has been to buy links that look good to me, and only buy them by the month. I renew the good ones, and dump the bad ones.
this is good stuff. to add to it. a site that has strong pr, and also has the same pr thruout, can be worth 10 times as much as a similar site that has a higher pr homepage, but lesser internal pages.
for example; a site that has a pr8 homepage AND has 50 pr8 internal pages, can be valued higher than a site that has a pr9 homepage, with pr6 or pr7 internal pages.
either way tho, it is to be commended. pr8's and higher are tough to come by, and even tougher to find for sale....
