How much do you think a domain with PR7 could cost?

How long is a piece of string (as we say in the UK)

many factors go into the pricing of a domain, PR is very low down the list.

also is the domain relevant, will all the backlinks dissapear after the people linking to the domain realise the site owner/content has changed?

is the domain actually relevant to your site/business?

and finally what if during transfer Google does not crawl the site, and you end up being missed in Google serps!

The main thing you should be looking for is:

type-in traffic numbers
relevancy of domain to your project
past history of domain

I hope that slightly answers your question

I'll mirror what Shakil said and add this...

If you are looking at the domain purely for PR value, then it is worth absolutely nothing, zero, nadda, as they say.

If you were looking at it for all the things Shakil stated above, then you need to take a very close look at everything and see if there is value. You could take a new site to PR7 within 90-120 days and you would then know for sure how that PR7 was obtained! ;)

pageonresults you are giving the game away here (only kidding)

fyi, I buy a lot of valuable domains for projects and investment purposes.

I have only ONCE looked at the PR, backlinks of that domain, and that was only because something did not look right, in the end I discovered it had PR0 because of dirty tricks, and as this domain was Keyword-Keyword and very relevant to the industry which we wanted to use it for, well we did NOT buy it.

the rest are based on:

type in traffic
memorability
impression a domain leaves (example: keyword.com looks a lot better than buy-my-dodgy-keywords.com for branding and Public relations purposes).

Hi pfritz and welcome to WebmasterWorld! ;)

Agree with the above... adding a PR7 page (vice every page of the site) in 1 year can easily become PR4.

I disAgree. I know for a fact that a domain with a pr7 is worth gold, it just depends on what you use it for. for instants, lets say you have a affiliate website(s) that can't buy a pr7 link, well, with this new domain, you just got yourself a bunch of pr7 links and if you get that for anything under $100.00 then you did go. also, who the hell cares if the pr goes to pr4 in a year(do you know how long a year is on the net?) thats like 5 or 10 years real time and in the mean time your making money(which is what we are all tring to do right?) I would love to buy as many pr7 and pr8's as I can, I would go hog wild with them(hog wild is are specialty here in the bay area). do it and if you come across anymore, then get them to. my 2 pennys.

teeceo.

p.s. and about having to wait 60 to 90 days for your new pages to show, that is only half true, the site has pages on it already and when you buy the domain, you buy the domains links too.
