I have some gallium here, pretty cool stuff!
Just beware that it will leave lots of droplets in everything (i.e. your hands get grey if it melts on them)

Thanks to Wikipedia I now know that Gallium is an interesting metallic element with a low melting point use in the production of semiconductors or to make prank spoons that melt in hot tea.

Is pure Gallium safe to be handling with your bare hands? I know if it was Gallium Arsenide you definitely wouldn't want to touch it.

I believe that pure gallium is safe as long as you don't ingest it.

It's a hell of a lot safer than the alternative (mercury)

In terms of metal content, yes, the amount of "9's" after the decimal is correlated to the price.
You're correct.
It does matter, to a lot of people actually. ie: chemists when they deal with relatively small amounts of reactants(0.00xxxg) and do not want impurities in their final product.
Correct, however, do NOT let it solidify back anywhere on your body. Keep it away from high temperatures also..it will emit toxic gases. The gases are pretty much the "hazardous" part of the metal.

Better question:
ZDark, what do you use gallium for that you're willing to pay over 2x the price, for those extra two "9s" ?

No reason. I wanted to collect high purity samples. I just needed one sample(pellet), however, as much as I am tempted to buy the pellets, I am not sure if I should go through with the offer he offered me. Kinda nervous of buying metals through people/companies with no reputation. Whoever is interested in buying it can. I would much rather purchase Os and Ir anyways..but cant seem to find any place that doesnt charge 2000% price markup.

That is so true..just like this Pt noble round i found with a mintage number of only 45. And the funny thing is, the seller thought it was silver. Lol..
P.S. Whoops, I did not mean to double post.

Six nines with a + meaning that there are more nines, but after six it's kinda trivial.

So people actually collect scraps of metal??
I no longer feel any guilt over my laser collection.

It's not scraps of metal! It's the goal of collecting all of the elements, including gases, etc. XD
