Domain PR Questions

[Ben42]

This has probably been covered, but I cannot find it.

If you buy a domain that shows PR will it disappear right away when it's not pointed to the site it was or when transfered?

If you buy a PR 7 domain without the site, just for the PR, are you buying a handful of magic beans? ???

There are many factors that contribute to getting PR. One of the most important is the quantity (and quality) of inbound (incoming) links to the site/domain.

It won't go away easily until Google updates, the quantity of sites linking to your site diminish, the content of your site doesn't become relevant, etc.

just affiliate with others site....PR will increase if the quality of your site increase...

I've heard it you transfer it will keep the PR for a while, but if the domain expires and you reg it returns to 0. Is this the general consensus?

I guess the question is can you take advantage of a domains PR even if isn't affiliated with the site that gave it that PR in the first place (even till the next update or whatever)? If not why do some people advertise PR when selling domains?
