What's the going rate for this these days? I'm assuming folks would pay quite a bit for a permanent link on a PR6/7 page, but I've had a hard time finding threads about actual costs here. I know a few ways to do this for super cheap so I should probably try to make some cash for school, ha.
This is all assuming that it can be a keyworded link.

I myself would not purchase a link just because of the page rank. Although If the site had pretty good targeted traffic for a persons niche they might be interested.

I also wouldn't pay for a link based on the toolbar PR of the page the link was on. (There are a TON of threads around here about why toolbar PR is a nearly worthless number.)
This is not to say there aren't still a large number of misguided people out there who would pay for a link simply because it's on a page with a sufficiently long green bar in the Google toolbar. I'm sure there are. It's distressing how often large numbers of people are apparently prepared to do foolish things.
Paid links fall into the category of "advertising." Just as in the offline world, one should buy advertising based on the potential of the advertisement to bring actual sales and/or for branding purposes. Either way, the critieria by which to judge the value of the ad is: how many interested people will see my ad in that location?
This is why billboards on busy highways cost more to lease than billboards on rarely-traveled back roads, and why TV ad space during the Super Bowl cost so much more per second than those half-hour infomercial slots at 3:00am on cable TV.
If somebody is going to try to get me to spend money on an ad on his/her page, s/he's got to show me traffic and audience demographics for that page. If the page gets enough traffic from people in my target audience, then I'd potentially be willing to pay for a link.
Google et.al. have made it pretty clear they don't want to award link popularity to paid-for links. They clearly haven't identified all the sites that are selling links, nor have they managed to figure out a way to remove all paid links from their link popularity equation, but they are actively working on it. They're putting pressure even on some large sites to code "nofollow" on their paid links, for instance.
And it's often tough to tell whether a link does pass any weight, even if it doesn't have a "nofollow" -- how do you know Google hasn't simply devauled all the links from that domain? They certainly don't publish a list anywhere of which links they count and which they don't.
I don't like to pay for things where I have no way of knowing if I'm actually receiving what I paid for. So I won't pay for a "PR7 link," because I don't have any good way of knowing if I'm actually getting a "PR7" worth of benefit from that link.
(Actually, I'm not paying for any links at the moment...) But if I were in the market for a paid link, I would pay for a link that sends me good targeted traffic, and/or for which the site owner can show me traffic and audience demographics to confirm my branding message is being seen by the kind of people I want to see it. The toolbar PR of the page wouldn't even enter into the equation.

No, I realize how ridiculous it is to pay a lot for some of these links -- I'm trying to see what the foolish ones have offered/paid, ha.

About your query, PR 6 -$10-12. Though the question is not clear whether you want a PR 6 on the link page URL or at the main page. People hire linkers because this job is really tedious, and high pr sites do not link back right away. Automated links can be subject to ban in the search engine. This PR 6 PERMANENT link also has unique IP address from the other links supplied.
If you are really in the seo business, links value so much to get a high sales and good remark on your site,thus, you will really find ways in order to get links. Links can be acquired through text link (embedded in text such as blog, forums, classified ads), directory listing, one way, three way, direct recip link.If you go on outsourcing, you can get a cheaper rate i guess.
Let me know for further instruction.
