I believe the price that the U.S. was willing to pay for New Orleans was $10 million. If it was not $10 million it was pretty close. As you may already know though, the French threw in the entire Louisiana Territory for the same price that the U.S. was willing to pay for the city of New Orleans. Napolean was fighting a costly war in Europe at the time of the transaction.
Thomas Jefferson bought new Orleans for $14,000,000 (4 cents an acre)
Jefferson was concerned about that a foreign power might shut down the port of New Orleans
It was $15 million including New Orleans, which was relatively inexpensive considering the amount of land he was offering to Jefferson.
