I have canning jars that need a new home
 

I have 2 dozen 24oz empty canning jars, some are Atlas Mason, some are
just Mason, some are Bell, some are recycled, etc. I'm not going to be
doing any canning this year or in the future. Is eBay a good place to
advertise them, or is there a better place? When do most of you start
looking for jars?

Thanks!

I'd donate them to a thrift shop. Shipping would be ugly. I buy 10-12
cases of jars at the end of the season when they're on sale -- enough to
hold me until the new season's sales begin. Are those 24 oz jars
Classico spaghetti jars?

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.
