Stupid question but why do they sell empty pigment jars? I can understand selling the small sample jars so you can put a little pigment into each but i assume you mean the full size jars?

The probably have them if people want to mix pigments or something. I personally want them because my friend and I are going to buy a few pigments each, and then trade half of them.

Yup, I get to split pigments with other people and I use them so I don't have a whole pigment in one jar. So let's say you drop a jar well that's ok because you have another jar 1/2 full
I also use them when I find a good pigment combo I like. For instance Naval Blue and Violet mixed look great!

I do that with my sis and SIL we buy full size jars and then extra empty jars and split the bill (it's good cause my SIL gets her PPID discount so I get 1/2 pigment jar for cheap!)

I'm sure they would work great so long as they're tightly sealed, and you have something to extract the foundation.

I thought they were $2 based on other posts, but when I called a week or two ago, the pro store told me they were $2.50.
You can buy empty jars elsewhere for a lot less, although they won't look the same. Ones like this are close though and would easily fit half a jar.
