Mercury...again
I find myself with a 100g bottle of mercury metal that I dont need anymore. Market price is 48$/100g, and thats all I want plus shipping. If you are
interested, let me know in private what city you live in and Ill get you an exact quote from Canaada Post for shipping. Its illegal to put on a plane,
for obvious reasons, so this is restricted to North America unfortunately.

Its probably technical grade, but mercury is easy to clean. If you want reagent, YOU are going to have to distill it, I wont touch that with a 50000
foot pole. I wish I had known your source, Im losing on this one. Its in Canada.

This is quite expensive. I can buy 100 grams of triple-distilled mercury for appr. EUR 20 from a real seller.

Old medical offices some even pay me to take it, one point I had a 5 gallon buckets worth
(It may be still sitting in a friends basement for all I know) but after several moves and such it got lost and sadly no longer have contact info
As stated by woelen, and as I hinted that price is too far on the high side you're competing internationally here.
Adding your location will go a long way.
Good luck.

Wait a minute, you had FIVE GALLONS of mercury? And you LOST it??
That's horrifying from both a 'lost a useful reagent' perspective and an 'environmental disaster of nightmarish proportions' perspective.
Edit: 5 gallons of mercury is 259 kilograms, or a little over a quarter ton. Holy hell.

well it will survive the next 3 world wars it was in a rather thick steel container that was well painted then sealed in a 5g bucket that was spray
foamed inside (Why I did that? I like things well protected) So it isn't going into the environment till some one finds it and opens it in the next
200 years
I'm more annoyed at the several ounces of gold that is still in it.
Being it was near impossible to move with out allot of effort I'm sure some lucky bastard is having fun with it

I used an old O2 tank (MC size) made of steel to store the mercury in, you can get small gas sample bottles too that will work well. Just don't use an
aluminium tank! lol (They didn't really exist back when I had my big stash)

Ah. Sounds proof against minor accidents causing a spill. Was it MARKED to communicate the hazard and describe contents? Just in case someone decides
to open it with a plasma cutter or cutting torch when the plug is stuck???
And I worry about my little bottle of dental supply Hg, sitting in its little plastic bag, inside a plastic tub (edit: It was free, an older guy
moving to hospice gave me his chemicals)... Or the perfectly good fume hood I had no way to move out of a rental property basement and no new place to
install when they condoed the joint and kicked me out. (they DID offer to sell me my 1,200 square foot basement apartment. For US $175,000.00 +
association fees.). Wonder what the remodeler did with that hood.

Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

Well the Big words MERCURY spay painted on it + the weight aut to be a big indicator, I considered it a high value resource. back then I had no email,
no phone number just my name, so who knows some day it may find its way back to me, but been over 20 years so doubt it

the steel ones make great small mercury storage cylinders.

Three? world wars?
A few ounces of gold.. 8-) that's a fair bit. I have a small amount of mercury - I was hoping to try making a gold amalgam sometime, but still have
never done it.

Well over all society seems to be getting dumber, the neo-marxist left want to hide away history, and when one forgets the past they are doomed to
repeat it.
So 3 may be a bit of a stretch but there most likely be at minimum two based on human stupidity, less it plays out like startreck!

Well - there ARE 2 for sure that we define in the history books as 'World' wars. They would be 'World War 1' and 'World War 2'. There have been
many other wars before and since... but none that society/historians have defined as 'World' wars. With the current bunch of idiots in charge all
over the world who knows where this Syrian conflict will lead. :-( Maybe WWIII is currently underway - nearly everyone is involved anyway.

Is that a potential source of mercury? Go to enough dentists and maybe you will get lucky.

I'm absolutely SURE that mercury will survive the next 3 world wars.
Because after the next world war any survivors who try to open that canister will probably be trying to do it with rocks and pointed sticks.
They'll probably end up worshiping the indestructible and nearly immovable container as a deity which they will no doubt call Mercury.
At least it's safer than worshiping a cobalt bomb the way they did in one of those Planet Of The Apes movies.
Pay no attention to the picture.
I have no friggin idea how it got there, and when I tried to remove it with the edit function it came back like Banquo's ghost.
(But if anybody can tell me what the thing on the left is I'll be most grateful.)
