What does this mean?

Hi Gregory,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Beanie Babies (BBs) were enormously popular in the 1990s and widely collected, with the consequence that now there are many "on the market" without nearly enough demand for the supply so values on most individual beanie babies are low.

The BB market is often subject to overvaluation and there are myths surrounding BB values, both for ones with - and without - tag errors (for discussion on tag errors, see https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22870250/nft-beanie-baby-price-guide-bubble-princess-value ).

Websites like eBay and Etsy - which are unregulated - are rampant with fraudulent sellers posting BB 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).

Ty released the Millennium Beanie Baby bear (often misspelled as Millenium) on January 1, 1999 to commemorate the upcoming turn of the century. The bear was retired on December 23, 1999.

Like 99.9999% of all beanie babies, these each have a very nominal value: $20-30 at auction.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
