On the price of hatching eggs: Why do folks pay $10 or more a dozen on ebay, eggbid or BYC for hatchery quality Buff Orpingtons. Don't mind paying $18 or more for show quality that post photos of their birds or by reutation are show quality. But to pay even $5 at auction and then shipping for pet/hatchery quality. Have watched some auctiosn of thsi quality and was shocked at the sale price. Even some mixed breed barnyard chickens sell for as much as $20 a dozen.
Green Family Farms has some nice Buff Orpington hatching eggs that has 5 bids and priced at $4.25 with about two hours left. Gabbard Farms has some 1/2 show quality 1/2 production quality that is at $12.95 with 3 bids and 9 hours left. Makes me recall going to auctions with my father as a boy.

This time of year people will pay just about anything for eggs, no matter what they are. I do not look at the starting bids to much anymore, but the buyer controls the cost. To most chicken people I know they don't care squat about show quality. I helped my neighbor catch one of his mutt hens yesterday that he sold for $10. To be honest and this with a lot of my friends to, I overlook and pass by any listing that states "show quality". I do not consider it ethical to list hatching eggs as something they clearly are not. Only one time did I make that mistake and the result was clearly production red and not even hatchery quality RIR. Anybody can pull pictures from the net, yes it is illegal and unethical but ebay has a problem with this all the way around not just on eggs. I do not have the time to search on the net for where a picture originates. I look at feedback but not just positive feedback, they have to have well over 100 before I will even open their listing. And one of the quickest ways I can find a scammer is by looking at the feedback they leave for others.
Other things to look for are claims that just do not make sense, I prefer that the seller tell me how they are going to package them than glowing testimonials from themselves. I look for the testimonials in the feedback, and this does take some time, but if they are what they say they are it is there. What good does it do me to buy "show quality" "Purebred" eggs that arrive scrambled and will not hatch. Or chicks or adults that arrive dead, or close to it. If I want show quality, I will go direct to the breeder and forgo shipping. I have nothing against spending that kind of money, but they have to be close enough for me to pick them up. And if there show quality I want to see RIBBONS.
