Blujay marketplace 404, domain registry changed 4/17.
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.
domain:                          blujay.com
created:                        05-May-2004
last-changed:                    17-Apr-2009
registration-expiration:        05-May-2009

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.

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.

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site.
best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011
