There was actually a recipe in the guild store for 5 mil for over a week. It didn't sell until the price dropped to 3 mil.
In fact, that one sale of 5 mil for a cipher was the same person that sold the recipe for 3 mil, so they lost 2.1 million on the deal. Rough luck, that.
I guess even the people with millions to spend have their limits.
Guy advertised for 5m, got put down by all the players in chat. I went about my business on my dailies and thought about it during. Whispered him after about 20 min asked if he still had it, then proceeded to buy it. Newer player gets instant millionaire status and I no longer have to worry about killing every mob I see in normal zones.
Before housing announcement I wouldn't have wanted to pay over 1m, but with the lack of storage and the ability to buy with crowns gold is back to having little value to me.
