Sandbox, or penalized?

    How do I know if my domain - ps3-spot.com was sandboxed or penalized? It's 2 years+ old roughly.

    If anyone can tell me for sure by running a few tests on my site or doing something along these lines, I'd be willing to pay for it I suppose - it's very important for me to know.

    The domain used to have some nice rankings for keywords like "refurbished ps3" (top 5, or top 3 ranking usually - as in, page #1 in the top 5 results) and other keywords, but suddenly disappeared. I'm still getting some Googlebot visits a long time after it disappeared, if that helps somehow.

    Still ranks well on Yahoo, for example.

    If anyone can look into this for me, or tell me for sure - let me know, and do let me know if you'll need to be paid for it.
