Not true, I have a Toto toilet that will out perform any thing on the
market. Maybe you never heard of Toto , do a little research on it.

Hello,
There is a toilet in our basement that I think hasn't been used for
years (we moved in last year). I'd like to remove it.
The flange and pipe are metal.
What do I need to do to cap the sewer line. I don't think I will ever
want to hook this toilet up again.
Thanks

You won't, but the next owner will. Normal toilet, or one of the special
up-flush models? If the latter, those are expensive and a pain to find.
And is there a sink, or the pipes for one, and a shower as well? If
next owner wants a playroom or man-cave in basement, bathroom or working
stubs for one can be a big selling point. If your heart is set on
ripping it out, cap the pipes cleanly, so they can be reused, and build
the shelves around it. Bottom shelf in a basement setting should be a
few inches off the floor anyway, in case it floods. If you don't know
how to cap pipes, pay the few bucks for a plumber to do it. For just the
sewer, plumbing aisle at the borg should have bolt-on gasketed caps that
will plug it well.

Oh, and the toilet is just a normal one. So yeah, I think the best is
to leave everything in place and just cap...I actually plan on
finishing a portion of the basement and who knows, I might want a
toilet down there someday in the distant future when my kids are
teenagers or something.
I'll go to home depot and see if they have a cap. Do I need to remove
the flange to put the cap on?

If that is an older toilet with a large tank, I advise you to retain
it. If you ever do desire a toilet in the basement, it will perform
much better than new low flow units will down there.
