How much are eggs worth to you guys? I'm really considering selling them as I have a lot but I would like to know how many you guys normally need and how much you would be willing to pay.

I pay 20cpu for good Eggs on Lowca, but only if they're in a decent sized stack (100+). "good" means that their OQ+PE+FL=1600 or more total.

I´m thinking about starting collecting eggs, before i destroy a lair. So how big is the need for eggs, what are they used for ? and whats the price ?

nope, getting eggs is laboriously difficult, thats why BEs dont make egg-requiring tissues by the crate =) If anyone asks you for a crate's worth (390) thats doable, but a full run's worth (15,015)? tell em to go stuff themselves, its impossible =)
That being said, I've had good luck, depending what planet you're on, just getting on a swoop and flying around cities searching every lair I see. You can search while mounted, and while moving, so if your lag is low and you're quick with your tilde key you can search for eggs without even stopping, meaning you can search those big aggro creature lairs in relative safety w/o having to kill them all first.

I"m new to the BE biz also and have been working on the advance myoflex tissues for someone. Wow, I had no idea the eggs thing was going to be such a headache. They are paying me 50k for a crate of the advanced myoflex, but I'll need to reconsider this price in the future. Took forever to get the 375+ eggs needed for a single crate.
I too would be interested in what others are charging for the advanced myoflex.

You can search those aggro lairs in relative safety anyway, so long as mask scent doesn't break ... it's not a prerequisite for BE, but it's almost a requirement for pet-making.

50k a crate, anyone charge close too, or above this??
I've Heard/seen BE's on my server charging 75k per crate for the mast scent tissues. If it's a real pain in the arse to get the eggs (haven't gone doing this mysef) then you can tell the tailors (especially if you're the only BE on the server making the stuff) that they can expect to pay good money even for 1 crate. It may seem cruel, but you could even see how many are interested and put a crate or two up for auction starting at 50k/crate and seeing how high they go. If they really want the stuff by the crate they'll payfor the amount of difficulty it is for you to gather the resources.

I make the tissues that require eggs, if and only if, the Tailor in question provides me with enough eggs to do the crate. I provide the rest of the resources and charge them 50k for the crate. Works out great. Course, not many tailors take me up on it, because EGGS

i charge 80k and have no problem selling them.
also, i don't make them that often unless there are good eggs on a planet that also has a good meat spawn. for instance dathomir just had a good meat spawn, and had the best eggs in the galaxy. i hunted rancors for about three days, got a ton of meat and enough eggs for a crate of enhanced myoflex. but also you can use mediocre eggs and still get a good bonus as long as your other resources rock.
