The dwarves wanted to see Moria not only for the riches but also because it was there ancestoral home that they had been away from for so long. They couldnt resist temptation.
Even Galadriel said (along these lines) if the elves of Lothlorian had be put into exile by some terror who of them could resist visiting the wood. The same went for the dwarves.
