To get rid of it! I suspect it would be a real headache to get rid of it
in any quantity, especailly through waste disposal or other commercail
channels.
What do people and or companies do with the stuff anymore?
Refine gold, make mercury fulminate. It has it's uses! :-)

Didn't we have this discussion not too long ago?

Keep mercury away from structural aluminum, stuff eats it alive. I remember
way back in the 1990's a salesguy wanted to ship mercury relays via air,
that would have ended real bad for the plane if they sprung a leak.
Out of curiosity why would somebody auction off small jars of mercury
anyway? I've
seen small jars of mercury at auctions, etc.
What's so bad about that? Mercury is about as dangerous as lead.
