Looks like some chicken eggs and a lump of clay.

I guess it’s a decorative item then…

Strangely, most of that seller’s other items look pretty nice.

Not only do most of the other items he’s sold look pretty nice, but they’ve mostly sold pretty cheap too. I mean, he’s sold short swords and full swords for like 40-90 dollars.

A lot of different buyers though, and the feedback looks positive.

I have no idea what he’s selling on your auction though…
