As long as the shell did not crack, a decent while...week or so, I'm sure....raw eggs will keep on the counter for a month. The shelf life on eggs has to do with when the membrane around the yolk breaks down and won't stand on its own when cracked into something, such as a frying pan, or a cake....so long as the shell is in-tact, the interior is sterile.

I honestly do not know the right answer, but from experience, it depends.
If you shell the egg, and it is at room temperature, a couple of hours max (it will get all sweaty and gross)
If you made them into egg salad or deviled eggs, not very long, 1-2 hours, just me cause of the mayo that is in it.
If it is still in the shell, I am guessing a day or two, I don't really like warm eggs so I have never really waited long to eat them, or I have refrigerated them. But if the shell is cracked, you would have to use it a.s.a.p. because air can get at the egg itself and it could stink and turn crusty.
I know that pickled eggs can last for months with out being refrigerated in a dark place. (unless you crack the seal of the jar)
I hope that this helps.

Well, I don't think there's a specific time when it comes to eggs. Just keep them in a cool place and use them asap. I certainly wouldn't use them if you kept them out, unrefrigerated overnight.
