Priceless never means the same thing as valueless or worthless.

Thanks Matt, that's what I had thought. Seems the usage has changed since 1913.

From www.dict.org:

Priceless \Price"less\, a.

1. Too valuable to admit of being appraised; of inestimable

worth; invaluable.

[1913 Webster]

2. Of no value; worthless. [R.] --J. Barlow.

[1913 Webster]
