Wow, what a ridiculous amount of misinformation in here. I buy PR domains from Godaddy auction and off forums like Digital Point all the time and never lose the PR so long as I do my due diligence. As long as the domain hasn't been dropped you won't lose the PR just because of an account transfer. If you are diligent in checking the backlinks before purchasing you won't lose those, either. The only way you lose them is if the previous owner was doing link exchanges. If you do a simple backlink check it's pretty easy to tell which backlinks are traded and which are just old forgotten backlinks that will still be there. People on here just love to comment with no real experience in what they are talking about...
