I've been trying to read up on the sandbox issue. I sort of understand it, but then I saw that Scottie mentioned that if you buy a lot of links you may be put into the sandbox.
What does buying a lot of links mean? For instance, we bought links on Yahoo, Skaffe, Wow and JoAnt... is that considered a lot?

No, that normal.
A lot would be purchasing links from a network where suddenly you went from 0 incoming links to hundreds overnight.

I think the only part of the sandbox most of us here are familiar with is the aging delay.
Some link brokers seem to have noticed that buying hundreds or thousands of links at a time might cause the same effect, but since nobody here does that, I'm not sure that it is documented here.
There's definitely such a thing as aging delay. But most of us are not too clear about any other reason why one might get into the sandbox. (Try Webmasterworld as you get a lot of link buyers and sellers there, I think.)

I don't plan to buy links from a links broker. I think what I must be experiencing is the aging delay. I think you guys are right about that. I've noticed that it takes about 6 months from the point of creation to see a site get a PR from Google. I don't know how valuable the PR is, though.

If you're talking about the pagerank you see on the toolbar, don't worry about it. They don't update it much.
It will generally take any new site 9 - 12 months to get rankings in Google due to the aging delay, but that has nothing to do with its PR. You will still gain that and link popularity and get indexed. Just not found much for keywords that are important to you.
