Someone let their domain addy expire.

Be curious to see if this was just an 'oops' on someone's part of if the owner said 'screw it' and it's gone forever?

That's happened a few times over the years. Software problems, hacking, and a site service issue or two. I look at them only when really looking for something. One can put an item up, and the site goes down and it all goes into the ether. I don't know where everyone has gone for B/S/T; FSN used to be my only place, but it's dropped off. My only alternative to this now is Armslist, which is pay, but veterans get it for $2.99 a month.

I don't know... Not much of a loss to me. Never bought or sold anything there. Too many scammers. I buy or sell here, or Gunbroker or at one of the shows in a non-Kommie County.

"Is it available"
"I'll send a Cashier's check with a courier to pick it up"
or,
Characters from TX or LA with a variety of shipping arrangements.

Yeah, B/S/T here, or Armslist, or Gunbroker if one has things which are not too much of a PITA to ship.

This is the longest that I have ever seen it down. Maybe it is done.
