So with v3 and the egg rotting introduced,
as I found out recently this now means that you may no longer place eggs in your shop.

Why?
Because they could be new or old...

But what if people want to buy older eggs for mutant hatch chances?
What if people want to sell CS eggs ? They never go off...

So, well, basically my suggestion would be to allow all eggs to be sold in merchant shops again, 
but to ensure no rotten spoiled eggs are present, allow only fresh eggs to be sold, where they do
not age in the shop much like pets in a showroom.

Or simply allow all sorts of eggs age and date to be sold, but that any spoiled or
old rotten eggs will have their appropriate picture as shown in the hatchery when
they are no longer fresh.

If not with normal eggs then the least that could be done would be to allow
CS eggs to be sold in merchant shops.

'Oh but why not just use the auction or trade? Why not set up an ad on the forums?'
Not all users check the forums, not all people have the 'cash' on them at the time,
as for auctions you may have to lower to an underprofit price just to get some bids
on the item, where then the final profit is not always a guarantee.
As for the trading post most people prefer to be paid in tu, not items, as some
items that may be worth much may not even sell at all!

But aye, my thoughts here, feel free to comment and add to it.
Not sure if it has been mentioned previously or not.

Eggs were meant to age everywhere - that is part of the reason they were removed from quickstock.

I support the eggs of all ages being able to be sold again. A lot of people are after Spoiled and Old eggs, so having them in shops could increase a user's profit and make it easier for users to get the eggs.

Granted, players who want Fresh eggs would have to regularly check shops for new eggs, but it's still faster and easier than the lag time that's presented by using the forums (also there's quite a bit of lag that's presented with auctions and trades, which the user could offer on Fresh eggs and end up with Old eggs by the time everything is said and done) where the users have to say they're buying and sending the Tu, then wait for the other user to possibly log back on and send them. And losing track of threads happens to a lot of people, myself included... >.>

I think part of the reason why we can't put eggs in shops is because the site probably wants the community to interact with each other more. Eggs is a good circulation of interaction amongst users.
That and there might be a coding difficulty with placing eggs in shops since they were initially supposed to disappear after 2 weeks. Or something. Maybe I'm just over-thinking that. xD

Nope you are right Jenny, coding was a huge part of the decision.

I support. It is SO annoying when you have to put up a thread so you can buy ONE egg. And you just want your hatch! And there are solutions for the no aging thing. We could make it so if there was an outrageous price (5 mill for an ahea), the staff could maybe send them an R-mail warning them to either remove it from their shop or at least have a reasonable price so other users could buy them. Or if it sat in a shop for more than a week (or something) it would be removed, good price or not. And then they couldn't put it back for at least a week.

It's still a major disadvantage to users who aren't good with the forum deal.

And no support to what Fluzz said. Staff has no right to determine what is a "fair price" for things. It's the User's store, it's their choice as to what they want to price things.
And your remove it from the shop then preventing them from adding it again makes no sense. o-o

Eggs don't even disappear at the moment.

No need to be rude. o3o I was just stating my opinion on your suggestion.
I don't believe in the "government" controlling a lot of things, so I don't like the idea of Staff being able to choose prices for Users' shops.

And you could explain the reasoning behind your second suggestion. If someone doesn't understand when you're trying to be helpful, explaining would be helpful as other people might not understand as well.

I already have some thoughts on an egg marketplace of sorts. I would look forward to something like that in the future...
