First things first:

Have you seen the regular non-shiny versions in the Black Market before? If not, they could be missing from your chao file.
Certain chao files don't have certain eggs, and if you're missing the normal version (or the shiny version) that means other one is also gone.
This is in all versions (I don't know about the Dreamcast though) and we're pretty sure this was on purpose too.

Also, even if you haven't seen an egg it could still be there. The eggs (and other items) get swapped in and out of the Black Market at random. It could be several cycles before the ones you want show up.
In fact, this guide right here says you can always find white chao eggs, so you should be able to just keep trying until you see that one.

And if I remember correctly, the Emblem listings on this site have an iffy track record, meaning some of the people have seen the eggs with more Emblems or even less than the ones listed.
It wouldn't hurt to get some more, at least while waiting for the Market to change its items.

The Market refreshes over time. I believe it's about 3-5 minutes each time. Which is also roughly the amount of time it takes to finish City Escape.
I think it's a slightly different time if you just stay in Chao World, but I don't know much on this honestly, other than "it restocks every 4 minutes or so".
