Read All About It!
Have you heard your Millennium Ty Beanie Baby is worth thousands? You may have read a ‘clickbait’ article, ones that are written to attract readers but are not based on actual facts, saying it is one of the top 10 valuable beanie babies. Misled sellers have even offered to fly their beanie to potential customers because of the high value. Before you buy a plane ticket, understand that NO variation of Millennium is worth $5,000, no matter how many errors are found.
Ty beanie baby Millennium has many variations, now referred to as errors. Besides name and location misspellings, Millennium had a ribbon, and a tush tag generation change.
Below are some differences/errors you can expect to find. These were all common, a.k.a. mass produced.

Values
So, what has all this got to do with the value of your beanie baby? Not a great deal unless you want to believe some ‘clickbait’ articles that value them in their thousands to attract readers to their sites. The supply is plentiful and the demand isn’t. You can find the exact beanie listed at $0.99 as $14,500 and beyond! Unfortunately this beanie has an average value of $5 or less.
Research Sold Listings

It is the sold prices you should pay attention to. The text is in GREEN to indicate the price it SOLD at.
If the text is in black still, means it did NOT sell.
As you can clearly see, these prices are a far cry from the thousands of dollars claimed by these articles.
We like to say this. If these lists were accurate every expert in the hobby would be rich and we wouldn’t be answering questions.
