pack 5071 have gone for about $40, I believe, or $20 per piece.

Does $18.21 sound the most expensive part? I am sure I have seen other Lego
part sell alot more on eBay or Bricklink

  I don't know, there are the yellow low-slope convex 3x3 corners
  (lot of 18) that sold for some wildly high price, and of course
  there's the famous 1593 that went for over $2200, but I'm not at
  all sure how many pieces that set was, so I can't say whether or
  not it worked out to more per piece.

Here's my candidates:

The whistle for the 2 old lego trains (early 70's) that reacted to sound, I have
seen it sold only 3 times in the past 3 years, and EACH time it went over $100
(I paid $108 for one about a year ago...).
Similarly, the unit that controls those trains (actually 2 pieces) goes also for
well over $150 (so $75/piece).
Red 12 V motors go between $40 and $120, so they are close.
The large wheelset for the 7750 is good too (there a 2 different service packs,
each containing 2 sets), if you lucky, you pay $15, up to $50 is no exception
though.
