Two ways ...

Email your posting to news (I forget how).

Add the newsgroup, post to it then remove it.

Generally, it's considered bad netiquette to do this. Much better to 
subscribe to the group for a while. However, if you are just posting a 
for-sale type item then I would think it would be ok to do it.
