Thanks guys - Links all added, appreciate the input!

Here is one I would add

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.sf.starwars.collecting.vintage/topics

This take you to the rasscv newsgroup. Just use the search box and you can find all sorts of old topics that were discussed during the 90's to the early 00's.

The vintage sub group was created around '98, so I also would add

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.sf.starwars.collecting/topics as a place to search too.

You can even find my one and only post on there
