In order to sell on TN you need to be a charter member.
Seeking advice for selling something, is different.
Better check laws on hazardous materials. It may or may not can be shipped through USPS, for sure,
you would need to have proper haz-mat container(not just some old flask) and proper labeling.
Perhaps check locally, see if there are any industries, that can utilize 9 lbs of mercury.
Good luck and welcome to TN.

Welcome !

it appears it can be purchased for $98.00 a pound at Amazon

Amazon.com: Liquid Mercury 454g: Industrial & Scientific

I'm Not so sure of the Legalaties.

Recently 2 Schools in PA were on lockdown, and supposedly had to be decontaminated due to kids having a tiny amount in sealed bottles so there is Paranoia over it.

That said #1 you cannot sell here without being a Charter Member,
And in the Case of Liquid Mercury, I'm not sure you could then Either

Good Luck with it though

With all of the hype against mercury and now that is has been made illegal to use in industry like in switches, thermostats, & good old thermometers, the price has gone down to what you can get for it. Chemical suppliers will buy it off of you if you can't find someone who wants it. It really depends on what type of mercury you have, is it clean, pure, industrial, medical, dental? All of these make a difference. Sierra Chemical is a good place to start if it is clean industrial grade & they can give you a value for it.

I am done with my business with the use of mercury and have 9 pounds left I'd like to sell, back when I bought it I paid 130$ a pound and It's been a number of years now so I don't know the price of it. . I have it stored in my flask which is the most efficient way to transport it.

You're joking, of course ..................

My last job before retiring was managing an auto salvage yard. Part of my responsibility was proper disposal of hazardous material when we crushed the cars. Guess what was considered by the EPA to be the most hazardous out of everythng ? More than used oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, battery acid, etc. The little tiny "pills" with a drop of Mercury in them that make the light come on when you open your hood & trunk... We had to break open the switches, collect the little metal capsules that contain the Mercury, and turn them in for proper disposal. Just a FYI.
