Sure are lots of cheaper ways. We should have just sectioned off a part of our large barn that we just us for storage, would have been sooooo much less expensive. I sell my eggs on ebay too, but they never go that high (I wish!)
You don't pay unless your item sells, it's funny really, I can totally relate, I spent more than that on our 13 hens and 1 rooster plus coop and everything else I bought for them.
I'm watching them, what would be funnier if they actually found a buyer!
Don't know if someone already posted this link, but here's a really expensive egg! I'm sure it's gotta be someone on BYC!
