Just to update, I'm still seeing this on stagnant older sites with no recent backlinks, while much newer sites still show the normal PR they would be expected to be, given the links they have. In fact, by all rights one site in particular should be around a PR4 based on some IBLs - and that's what it did have until it dropped down to a grey bar (and lost rankings).

And no, there's no question about links being bought or sold because it's never been done.
