Newsgroups

How do I find UseNet newsgroups for my geographic region?

In addition to the larger worldwide newsgroups such as the misc.forsale.* hierarchy, there are also smaller local newsgroups. These local newsgroups are sometimes more convenient for selling items because their readers are located in the same area as you. Not only would you save on shipping hassles, but potential buyers could come check out the merchandise before forking over the cash. DejaNews has a regional newsgroup finder, great for this purpose.
