Forget eBay. The value of 2 dozen used canning jars doesn't make it
worth listing. Shipping them would cost far more than the jars are
worth. A quick search on eBay for mason jars gives 72 listings, almost
all of them vintage type jars and, of that 72, only 10 have bids.
Any time we need canning jars we go to one of the local thrift stores
where they sell anywhere from CDN $0.10 to $0.29 each. If we go on the
right day, there's a senior's 20% discount.
Just donate them and get that warm fuzzy feeling.
