How do I properly get rid of a cursed sword?

Build a dungeon around it. Hire a huge monster to guard it.

Wait for the adventures to locate the dungeon and slay the monster.

Watch them be over joyed to have found a new magic item and carry it off to their doom.
 
Just put it back in the trash heap you found it in.

It would be a pretty stupid curse if you could somehow loophole your way out of suffering the effects of the curse.
 
You need to hunt down the sorcerer/warlock/shaman that placed the curse and behead him or her with the same sword. Only then the blade will be cleansed.
 
So my dad passed away a few years ago and his partner recently got in touch with me so he could give me some of his stuff that he came across while moving. Most of it was Cher memorabilia from the 70s and 80s, but once I got to the bottom of one of the boxes I found something I hadn't seen since I was a kid: a sword that my uncle brought back from Egypt back in the day. I texted my mom about it and she said that it was cursed and that I need to get rid of it ASAP. I'm not super superstitious, but this thing is starting to freak me out.

What do I do, GAF? I googled around and it looks like I need to burn it, take it to a Catholic priest, or give it away to someone who accepts the curse willingly. Am I already fucked?

Send it to me. I collect cursed items. Money can't change hands though, otherwise you retain the curse.
 
Well, Shit OP, guess you're an anime protagonist, you will go on an adventure and forge a bond with the spirit cursing the sword.

Fuck, i was happier without the knowledge that our world was fictional and you're the main character of the story.
 
You can get a lot of money for a cursed sword on eBay. Be warned, however that most interested parties will not hesitate to use you as human sacrifice for their demonic masters should you give them the chance.
 
make sure to tell people it's cursed if you sell it. that will likely add to the value. you can always throw it up in the air like this.

if it doesn't cut off your hand then you can take possession of it.
 
Almost positive there is an Adventure Time episode about this. Each episode is only 11 minutes long, shouldn't take you too long to find it.
 
Spending all that time exposed to Cher memorabilia probably diluted the curse.
Or amplified it.

Truth be told, I'm unaware on how ancient Egyptian curses are affected by proximity to artifacts related to such a powerful entity from the 1970's.

Why would you wanna get rid of it? It damages ghosts without you ever having to use transient curse.

Seriously, have you priced Transient Curses lately?
We're not made of money.

Too late op, the sword has already rendered you stupid.

Maybe it isn't the sword that's cursed, but the Cher memorabilia!
 
Okay, sorry for the potato quality but my Moto X's camera is borked and all of my roommates are gone. I had to settle for the 3DS camera.

Sound's like your Father's partner tried to pass it off on to you unwillingly. You should give it back to them.

He just moved halfway across the country. Can you mail swords? Guessing I can't.
