I'm going to do something I don't usually do because of my perceived "competitive advantage" but I'm going to start the bidding on this one. That orange/pink moss agate egg is just bad to the bone and I would love to cut that sucker and make a few cabochons from it.
Bid is $32
Edit to add: don't let this stifle the bidding though! Jump right in.

Once posts are made to other threads here, this thread/auction probably won't be seen by many.
You might want to add (or double post it) it to the regular thread area.
That box looks like it had a tough ride and similar to some I have received this year!
nice eggs

The box was good when it arrived, I've had it sitting on my patio since early October and it fell apart after some heavy rains we had. New box included in the auction  |

I jammed that box full,had to use a shoe horn to fit the last egg into it..
Some killer eggs in the bunch too..
They are from many beds here in Oregon..
Multiple colors,sizes and beauty..
Don't pass it up,you will be kicking yourself,when the highest bidder,posts the goods he gets out of the bunch....
I just don't have the time to work these eggs,they are 1st class..
That's the only reason I let them go,to many laying around,want then to go to a good home.....
Remember this is for a great cause and it's for all of us to share and use..
Thanks Tommy !!!

OK lets ratchet up the pressure...
Fossilman's eggs box stands alone on quality and value BUT if this auction reaches $100 I will move it into a large flat rate box and fill up the spaces with my own cut egg halves. I've got some nice stuff to offer - mostly small medium Richardson's Ranch blue bed but also some McDermitt.
edit to add: I will cover the additional freight cost as well

Wish I was better at cutting these. It was a sweet deal even before Tommy sweetened it. T-egg cabs sell like hot cakes.
