Would You Buy a Link From Link Brokers Like Text Link Ads?

Over the course of five plus years, the topic of link brokerage houses have been a popular topic in the forums. I often try to stay away from the topic, due to it being a very controversial and heated debate. But I have seen many threads over the years and two recent ones that encouraged me to post a poll asking for your feedback.

I have some people who swear by buying links from link brokers. I have others who would never go next to a broker, not even with a ten-foot pole.

One of the largest, if not the largest, brokers out there is Text Link Ads. I was wondering, as a show of hands, who would buy a link from them and why? Please take my anonymous poll below and have all your SEO buddies take it:
