JP, for your PM.

Yes if youre just trying to dump stock for a tax loss and you dont care what $ you get for it, just put in a market order. Your broker will facilitate it either via the exchange or they may buy it themselves. You make get a buck or two or maybe nothing, sometimes even the comission is waived. To you it doesnt make any difference and they probably wont even let you know where it went.

For shares that are non tradable there is usually a form you can fill out through your broker. The one at my broker is called the Worthless Securities Checklist.

Hope that helps. Unfortunately relevant here:(
