Could it have been sold? Or the owner just decide the Google ads weren't making enough cash?
It also looks like it may have switched to a new shared DNS with all registry info private.

Although the owner seems to have let it go for some time, I hate to see this one go. A site like PH or WP doesn't stand a chance and never really did, but Blujay was able to produce quite a bit of business for many sellers friends. It produced more traffic per listing than Ebid and Bonanzle, and worked well as a secondary store for hundreds of sellers.
The forum is still up but only one seller noticed the site is missing

Maybe the server is unplugged AGAIN

This is the 3rd year in a row that the site has suffered an extended outage due to DNS problems.  Adam must have missed all of the horror stories on webmaster forums about 1&1's DNS (mis)management when he made the (not too) bright decision to use them for his DNS.
It returned this afternoon

Blujay explanation for outage Wrote:[SILENCE]
I don't think this Blujay seller is happy
