    Hi,

    Are Dropped domains of PR3,PR4 and PR5 of high value or not ? Is it good to buy such domains ?

    Really depends. What niche? How old are they?

    I don't have a lot of experience in SEO, so wait for someone that can really answer for you :)

    Also check the number of backlinks to see how strong is the PR ;)

    Yeah - if you're successful it could be a nice benchmark for us.
    I have never considered buying a "used" domain before...

    I think google drops the PR when the domain is dropped

    Not true.

    Pagerank is completely agnostic. It only ranks the value of valid inbound links and nothing else. Some domains do get dinged down to no PR if they've been dropped for too long. But, as long the inbound links are there and are of good PR themselves, the site's PR will pop back up when Google does the new ranks (approximately every three months).

    It wont be a bad idea, PR can be maintained by putting little efforts.

    Where is a good dropped domain site? FreshDrop was great but have started charging for everything now. JustDropped is Ok, but can someone recommend another one?
