Egg Stealers as opposed to Egg Hunters (Huntersik) are people who hunt down eggs for the purpose of selling or auctioning them off to the highest bidder.
Depending on the perceived prestige of the Egg, the commercial value increases. And this practice is forbidden, and defaulters are met with fierce punishments depending on the laws of the region where the defaulter originates from or the default happens.
