I've not found any information on the estimated value of a flame drake egg, anyone have an idea?
if you plain to sell it, you're definitely crazy!
my advice is to hold that egg and get the dragon grow up as an ally;
btw probably you didn't found a price 'cause is not a common "item" you can sell everywhere to everyone. If you really want to sell that i suggest to exchange that with something at least rare or really useful and powerful.

Virtually worthless, as you need at least two of them to make a flame drake egg omelet.........

I'm the GM, and I am hoping they opt to keep it.
However, there is a chance they'll be dumb, and opt to sell it, in which case I need some general price.
ahh okk, sorry i didn't understand you are the GM ;D
I hope they'll use brain and keep it...if not to use it for something, at least for the flavour (and also possible secondary quests that could open, because it's a rare and powerful "item").
in my campaigns I always have the local churchs offer bounties on evil artifacts so that they dont fall into the wrong hands again. Allows good players to profit from finding treasure without selling it back to someone who would turn its uses for evil down the road thus costing the paladin his class abilities by knowingly aiding future evil acts.
if your players are heros, then they should either destroy it, or try and collect a similar bounty like I put forward.
If they are murder hobos, they should hatch it and train it to burn things!
Selling the egg would be an evil act, in case that's relevant in your party, akin to slavery. A drake is an intelligent creature (Int 9), so that's like selling a human infant.
(Not to mention the drake will more-than-likely grow up to be a CE terror, unless someone who really knows what they're doing manages to train those impulses out of it.)
If there is a druid or ranger in your party I would turn this into a whole quest for them to gain a special feat that allows them to tame dragons as animal companions. this would require MASSIVE amounts of house rules and very careful consideration by the DM to make sure this doesnt become a problem down the road, but it could be A LOT of fun for the whole group.
remember, your the DM, you can do anything.

So what's the non-evil act in this case? Smash the egg? Give it to a caring family? Release it into the wild?

If the PCs keep the egg, I may have a fire dragon take interest in them, offering them the chance to hand over the egg, allowing them to be free of it and the dangers/temptations of its ownership.
Until that occurs, I may have them hunted by a group of baddies who are after the egg for various nefarious purposes.
if your players are heros, they should hatch the egg and raise the drake to be a force for good.If they are murderhobos they should kill it or collect a bounty!
I think you had the roles reveresed fixed it for you though...where is Mikaze at when you need him?
Hmmm....

There's no clear-cut answer. If you are a follower of a particular deity, it could give you a clue to the best path forward.
Iomedaens or Toragites would say, "smash the egg."
Sarenraens or Shelynites would say, "give it to a caring family."
Caileanites would say "let it go," or maybe, "try to raise it yourself but let it go if it insists."
Erastilans would say, "try to raise it yourself, but if it is getting out of control, kill it."
