You can be right, but from your only point of view. All you must remember there are PR5 directories making no more than $500/year but there are also PR5 making more than $20.000/year. So many factors are important... How dir looks like? How is optimized for seo? How is programmed? How is promoted? What is the age? How it looks in SERPS? What are backlinks? What are addons? What is the owner reputation? Summaring: Similiar to Malcolm1, prefer to keep my directories. Some services offerd by it would be too much for new owner And the price for rdirectory.net is far from this I could start to talk.
