Anything still for sale?
Well google wasn=E2=80=99t a thing back then so I think the date is wrong
This is Usenet. Usenet has been around since 1983. "Google Groups" is a cheesy interface to Usenet which attempts to make it look like a proprietary Google facility when in fact Google has done more to damage Usenet than anything else.

This group has been around since the Great Renaming of 1987
and there are a lot of old postings in the database. Do not expect people who posted decades ago to still be on Usenet.
