I can only speak for myself, but the by far most interesting thing about an expired domain is the traffic still coming from TGPs, Linklists, etc. that didn't remove their links to the domain, even after the galleries, freesites, etc. are gone. Throw up a nice .htaccess and you got some little steady traffic for a few bucks a year, cheaper than any traffic broker.
On the other hand, if you can grab an expired domain that isn't blacklisted, you got two things at once: You get this traffic from old links, you may have some PR from them AND you can build more linkpop and PR by linking to it from your sites...so it's like a freshly registered domain with a little extra boost.

That's good, I personally wouldn't bother unless there was either tons of domains with constant traffic coming in each day or there was one or two domains with a lot of traffic.
