YCC - It's not the jars but the sealant on the lid. I don't even recycle ball lids. I keep the rings of course but I use new lids every time. If you know a jar doesn't seal it's not a big deal because you can put it in the fridge and use it. The problem comes when the seal appears to seal but leaks over time. Then you wind up with bad food and the risk is just not worth it to me.
If you want to cold can something and keep it in the fridge for use liked salted oranges or limes you'd probably be okay with that.
