LOL hilarious thing is that i've been to east java, and I have sulphur from there...

Wow! That's neat. So I guess you brought back a couple basketfuls, just like the guy in the picture.

I meant, "your back yard".  Dang typos.  Seriously though, kid, the last place-time I remember seeing sulfur in a retail establishment was at a garden center, years ago. 

What is a "garden center", you ask?  It's a place that sells living plants, and plant accessories. Um... here:

I think it, sulfur,  is used (in the gardening context) in powdered form (aka "flowers of sulfur") for dusting plants to deter insects from eating them.

BTW, if anyone asks what you want it for, you should say that someone put a voodoo curse on you, and the sulfur is needed for a reverse-voodoo ritual for the purpose of lifting the curse.  Then when the clerk is staring at you with wide-eyes and jaw falling towards the floor, ask him or her, using your best impression of straight-faced, deadpan, seriousness,  if he or she also knows where you can find a live chicken.

Thanks. I try to provide answers that are entertaining, as well as informative, and even if I don't succeed at either of these goals, at least I have fun doing it. Heh.

i bought my sulfur and potassium nitrate off the internet. No problem. Sure I probably have an FBI file now but i am not doing anything illegal. Just trying to make cheaper black powder for hunting.

Try the gun store in churubusco,near or out of Wheat Field(near Thresher Run).

How much do you want?
Try E-Bay.
Look in pharmacies for 4 or 8 oz bottles of "Flour of Sulphur" or "Precipitated Sulphur". Locally (Central Minnesota, USA) it is on open shelves.

If you can't but off the internet or any store, you are a bit "knackered". However, you could go to an appropriate area of volcanic activity and collect some. Holiday in Hawaii?

I used to buy 5 pound bags from gardening and landscaping sources. It also keeps a lot of biting bugs out of your lawn if you sprinkle it on the grass.

You might ask at your local pharmacy. They're probably gonna want to know why you want it, though.
