Hi , welcome to the forum. You need to post this in the JAR section of this forum where the jar experts and tonnes of lurkers are!
Will you sell individually or the entire lot only?
I am wondering what it written on the greenish / olive color jar, top row , furthest to the right?
You also need to either list them all or show closeup pictures of them.

Or I can move it. Good luck with them. There are some members in that area but I don't remember if they collect jars.

You've got a few good ones in there like the Swayzee, and the large Ball display piece, but it's impossible to tell without closer pictures or a list of embossings. It appears that most of them are low to low/medium value collectible jars. But there might be a nice hidden gem. Sometimes non-local collectors like myself would be interested in one or two of them, but not if we have to pay $10 for shipping a $10 jar. I know from experience that selling off a large quantity of $5-$10 jars can be time consuming and difficult.

I'm curious which ones you have priced at the upper end of your $8-$150 range?
