Edit: I'd still rather have The Gutenberg Bible. I'm pretty sure that if one were to be sold at auction today it would probably go for $25+ million. Individual pages have been known to sell for over $25,000.

That's correct. Birds of America was sold for £7.3 million ($11.5 million) in Dec 2010.
I mentioned published because other books were sold for higher amounts but they were author's manuscripts. The Gutenberg's Bible was never published.
