How do i price these eggs?

Hi! First time around owning laying chickens and first time even thinking of selling eggs since they started laying in march. The reason why is just surplus and well, chicken debt lmao. These girls are tearing a hole in my pockets. My girls are pretty wonky layers though despite being the same breed (mystic onyx), i have a few girls who pop out solid medium eggs but a good bit of them are misshapen and smaller or way longer than they are wide. Pictures below, i tried to pick out the most different from each-other in the pencil pic! They have been laying like this for over a month, i figure they’ll fill out eventually but for now i need to do something with them before my whole fridge is just egg.

Question is: Whats a good price for these eggs per dozen? I assume cheap since they’re smaller than avg eggs mostly, but i don’t want to undersell nor overprice so much no one buys. Also is it better to advertise washed eggs or unwashed? Or does it truly not matter? I always wash my eggs upon collection (why everything wet in pics lol). Forgot to add im in NC! For the market price info XD I

They are free roam chickens that are only cooped at night. Fed 20% protein all flock food. They get oyster shells often too! If any more info is needed lmk!

Sorry a mechanical pencil was what i could find at the time as a size ref XD

I dont expect a 100% answer! Just some opinions and ranges of what id try from some kind experienced sellers/owners 🥰 ty in advance!
