My (now deceased) father bought a VERY thinly traded stock, SRLY, many decades ago. This was long before electronic trading days, so we have an actual stock certificate. I was able to download all of the transactions for this stock: from 9/15/2002 to present, there have been 98 days of trading activity. So although it is still traded, the volume is so thin as to make it virtually unsalable. How do I go about selling off this stock? Do I have to enlist the help of a broker? I use eTrade, and I know I can call and get the help of a broker, but I'm not crazy about paying a large fee just to talk to someone there.

Any thoughts would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks

Jim
