unbuyable

Cannot be bought

Something unbuyable cannot be purchased, either because it's not for sale or because no amount of money could secure it.

The word often applies to intangibles like loyalty, integrity, or love: Her respect is unbuyable—you have to earn it.

Less commonly, it describes something too expensive to afford: At that price, the house was unbuyable.
