They might live nearby - collection perhaps

I have jars listed. I have sold 27 so far and 24 were collected. Mine are just jam or honey jars. Some went for more than the contents in the shop.

Someone has bid on it!

these jars are perfect for holding little nuts and bolts to be stored in a shed out the way rather than clutter a whole tool box up, a glass jar is a glass jar, ive seen a few people at boot sales sell them for homemade jam for £1 and bigger ones can go upto a £5-8.

only time i would buy one is when friends and family have not got any to give.

£6.49 for an empty coffee jar, including postage ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330934378685?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Off hand I don't know how much the coffee is but it can't be that much ... is it?

I don't think the seller thinks buyers are stupid. I'm just thinking how stupid the seller must be to go to the bother of wrapping and posting that!
I'd be embarrassed to list something so *rap.

Wasn't there a television programme where someone actually did sell old rope on ebay?

I've sold old rope.

It was surprisingly popular.

85p for something most people throw away can't be bad.
If you're listing stuff anyway, you may as well.
Thousands of people list things at 99p start that they've bought & then moan that it goes for 99p, they're the stupid ones.
I took carrier bags of jars to the recycling the other day, it didn't occur to me to list them on ebay.

Ive just never thought of listing empty jars or empty tins on ebay before.
