unpriceable
Cannot be valued
Something unpriceable cannot have a price assigned to it—either because it's too valuable to sell or because no market exists for it.
A family heirloom may be unpriceable in the first sense: The letters my grandmother wrote during the war are unpriceable to me.
A concept or abstraction may be unpriceable in the second: How do you value clean air? It's unpriceable.
The word overlaps with priceless but emphasizes the impossibility of pricing rather than extreme worth.
