Literally, it means to keep the glittering casket and give back the pearls to the seller, well this is just a idiom that shows youur lack of judgment and end up choosing the wrong thing

"椟"is more precious than "珠",so if someone just buy "椟" and return the "珠" which inside the "珠", he is a stupid person who cannot see the true value of thing.
