What does this mean?

Hi Kenneth,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

There are myths surrounding Beanie Baby values, both for ones with and without tag errors. Websites like eBay and Etsy - which are unregulated - are rampant with fraudulent sellers posting Beanie Babies at exorbitantly high prices and then the BBs either don't sell or sell privately at undisclosed prices. (For an article that goes into detail about this, see: https://www.vice.com/en/article/epnwmn/investigating-the-fake-ebay-market-for-dollar25000-beanie-babies)

The Millennium Beanie Baby Bear, often called the "Millenium" bear due to a notable spelling error on some tags, was released by Ty Inc. in 1999 to celebrate the upcoming millennium. It has a unique purple color, a golden face, and an embroidered globe with the year β€œ2000” on its chest. The bear is also notable for its tag error, as some bears have "Millenium" instead of the correct spelling, "Millennium," which is a factor often cited to increase its rarity and potential value among collectors. In general, the "MIllenium" bear tends to sell for far less than some online listings suggest, as the Beanie Baby market is often subject to overvaluation.
Recent auction sales of Millenium beanie babies place the value at $30-50
