Why bother buying FRESH free-range eggs if you intend to store
them? Instead just buy the amount of eggs you would normally use in
a week then, if you run out, go and purchase more. The whole idea
behind buying fresh, free-range eggs is in order to truly benefit
from eating FRESH FOOD. Most superarket eggs are several days -
even weeks -old by the time you purchase them. Eggs that come from
a corporation warehouse are so chock full of chemicals can
literally sit around a suermarket storage area for months at a time
(and often they do)...the vast array of chemicals inside that egg
can preserve it for several months! The reason you generally see
only white eggs on a supermarket shelf is because the big producers
know that whiter chickens (as in leghorns) produce a greater number
of eggs that its brown relatives (even though the difference may
only be a couple of hours you multiply that by millions of birds
and it soon hurts their bottom line). Conclusion....purchase eggs
that are free-range. Support your local farmers Market!

Murray McMurray says that eggs should be stored pointed end
down.

Sailors coat eggs with vaseline not wax. I have tried it several
times and it does not work very well. More important is that you
should turn your eggs at least once every four days otherwise the
yolk sinks to the bottom and the egg spoils. But best of all is get
fresh eggs. Once you have tried real fresh eggs will not look
back.

A trick that boaters use is to coat the eggs with wax. Then they
will stay fresh longer without refridgeration.

I have taken organic eggs on sailboat trips of up to one month,
in the Bahamas int the summer, without any refrigeration for the
eggs. All I do is turn them over about once a day or so. Every once
in a while a yolk will come out broken, but other than not looking
perfect, they were fine. When an egg is bad, you will know
it.
