I’ve always wondered what happened to the props used in this film. Like the bed, the masturbation cross, the holy water bottle, etc.
Do you think they’re in the hands of a very lucky collector?
Regan,
On occasion you’ll see some genuine items on eBay and elsewhere. Cap posted one on the snake-like tongues being owned by J.J. Abrams here. The fanged teeth were once on sale for Regan and Karras on eBay I believe.
It would be great to see owns what and who cared about keeping something a props from the film after they completed shooting. I can see where Max von Sydow or the late Jason Miller would have held on to the Holy Water bottles and I’m sure there were lots of them. Sometimes the studio warehouse will have sales like they did for the film Alien and Aliens which is where I got the original Alien chestburster from the film Aliens. Although I have not seen another one like it, I’m sure the props department created dozens of them, but this is the screen version (below).

Sometimes people will chuck up a random crucifix (they don’t even try and make it look like the one in the film) and claim it was from The Exorcist, but no one is ever stupid enough to buy it.
The only real props I’ve ever seen for sale are the tongue and teeth castings.
I’d love to own something – anything – from the film!
True. eBay is sometimes riddled with misleading titles claiming authenticity or being a “genuine” item. If a seller cannot provide a certificate of authenticity with the signatures from the auction warehouse that sold them, forget it. Also, look for forgeries on the certificates themselves.

It’s not quite a bed, but Regan’s genuine screen-used tongue is up for auction:
