Okay, in an attempt to treat this seriously, let's take the Surfer's board.
It would be a treasure beyond value for the following reasons...
1. It's an alien artifact created by a tech/science far beyond our own.
2. It's virtually indestructible.
3. It harnesses an unknown / little understood form of energy which can be used for a variety of purposes.
4. It flies.
Now granted, only the Surfer can make use of #3 and #4; but just the fact that it could do those things at all adds to its pricelessness.
Same would hold for Mjolner or a GL ring or a Doc Strange artifact. We might not be able to use even a fraction of their potential, but that the potential is there nonetheless would have the military boys panting like dogs in heat.
Black Panther's/Fantastic Four's/X-Men's/Shield's uniforms. Though I'm half sure Reed made them all.
Lightweight, insanely effective body armor, some with built in computers? One suit could probably go for millions to military for analysis.
Ironman's armors would go for a lot too. The power systems alone could help solve Earth's energy woes.
Antman's size changing technology.
Dr. Midnite's mechanical eyeballs. All the technologies that give people completely functional mechanical limbs.
