Your results may vary, if you’re a kid they may say no.
I thought I’d share this anyways, since it works for me.
I also see Mercury thermostats at goodwill and thrifts stores all the time
(I have no idea why but they sell them for $.50-2.00)
Believe it or not most house light switches also contain mercury tilt switches, those can be obtained at construction and demolition sites as well 
It used to be real easy to ask for the Mercury thermometers that the school were disposing of, but now they have pretty much all been eradicated.
Mercury costs $10 a pound currently (used to cost $160/lb), but if you can’t buy it in bulk it can cost upwards of $100 a pound for pure elemental Mercury
