Liquidating some of my mother's estate. She scanned for decades as did my grandmother. Aside from any collectable jars, what's a fair price for mostly quart jars? There are 400-500 of them.

Dunno. We always give them away when we have extras that we know we won't use, and there's been quite a few.

ETA: Last year you couldn't find canning jars due to everyone getting all Home Ec. during the pandemic. So, there may be a call for them now.

Wife just bought a 12 pack of qts from Parks ace hardware in Prague and paid 14.99 + tax with lids and rings of course.. They can be found cheaper but it was handy and she needed.. We're also in Lincoln county so we might could be interested when you come up with a value..

They're in Owasso, but I can bring them to my home. Some may have some collectable value. My brother said there are 450 quart jars plus some pints and small jelly jars that mom reused. I'll let you know when I know.
