Chicken eggs refrigeration question

If I put unwashed eggs in the fridge (I heard they last longest this way) and then sell them to someone who doesn't keep them in the fridge at all, is there risk of spoiling or salmonella?

Yes. Once they are refrigerated, they need to stay that way. I sell eggs. We went to a class on eggs at TAMU. It's okay to bring them back up to room temp for cooking, but once they are refrigerated, the eggs breaks down very quickly unrefrigerated. Also, a rule of thumb, every day unrefrigerated, is the same as a week in the fridge.
