I am doing what probably many buyers do. Saying mine are better because....

The ones in the link you provided sold for a great price, but I am a woman and they
would be too feminine even for ME to use in an entire home. Maybe a bordello!

It all comes down to what a ready, willing, and able body person is willing to pay, and these
days....it is not too much!

I appreciate the idea of checking with some antique dealers. I know just the place to
take them.
