merrill charges $500 flat fee to (i assume purchase) my untraded or worthless security. in my case, it's an otc stock whose management used for a microcap scam, which resulted in a class action lawsuit, etc. but the company is still listed on otc and i'm stuck with 1000s of shares. (no idea about the court decision)
