What does this mean?

Hi Jessy,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Quasar inflatable furniture comes to market from time to time and has a small but devoted following, typically around people who were growing up in the 1960s. The Because this generation is aging out, it is likely more will come to market in the coming years but it's not immediately evident if there are new collectors (ie who were not of age when this was first produced). In short, while there will probably be a large supply of this soon, there may not be demand to keep prices high.
Though there are several pieces of Quasar Khanh Aerospace furniture available for purchase through online sellers (Chairish, 1stDibs), the prices they are asking for are RETAIL whereas the appraised values Mearto provides are Fair Market and based on recant prices of similar works sold for at auction. Considering those, this has a Fair Market value of $3,000-5,000.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
