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.
