 It ALL depends on "rarity factor".  A plain old commode can be found abandoned on the sidewalk.  On the other hand, I am sure that complete, original and rare commodes are sold for many thousands, even considering inflation.  Just look at the antique catalogues.  Can not argue about Carving knives though - you have a point
