worth anything please help

[elijahboy]

i need money and i have some kinda old canning jars

they are from 86

they are the ball quilted crystal

i have a box of 15 12oz jars and they are in the original box and they dont look like they have ever been used and have what seems to be the original rings

are they worth selling

 

[Beekissed]

Yes! Around here, they would go for around $8-$12 a doz. Maybe more if they are the older, antique-looking jars.

i have those and quite a few of the regular ball, atlas, and mason from the 50s to the 70s

i just wanted to know if they are worth selling and where would i sell them

i am an avid ebay seller but dont think they would sell good there because of competition

AND THE CRYSTAL ONES I MENTIONED HAVE A DIAMOND/BUTTERFLY SHAPE ETCHED INTO THEM SO ARE THEY STILL WORTH ANYTHING

 

[Beekissed]

Probably more, who knows? They sound very pretty!

I have those jars- they are great for jam gifts.
Yes, they are worth something but I think that Craigs List or something simular would be a good place to start due to shipping expenses for an eBay buyer. Lots of people have started frugeling due to the economy and it's certainly canning season for lots of jams, so its a good time.
I think they sell new for about $10-11 per dozen now. Go for it! For years I was always on the look out for used jars in good shape.
