∙ 12y agomercury can be found in chemist stores. but, they will only provide you with it if you are having a permitted license of using chemicals. if you dont find this license with you then ask your chemistry teacher or the chemist shop where you would find the chemicals.

∙ 14y agoOne source for it would be from old light switches, which often contained glass balls filled with mercury. Old household thermostats used to use Mercury, as well as old thermometers.
Another source would be to go urban spelunking around a school that's been abandoned since the 60's, or just the science department of a Detroit school that's been open that long.
As for legitimate/new methods, GoodFellow USA can supply 100 grams of 99.999% pure Mercury for only $523 plus shipping, or 1 kilogram for only $1105.
