It means that the price cannot be meaningfully quantified en masse, the price is set at the moment of purchase.
Art is a good example of this as it generally has no immediate utility, and even it cultural significance is created less by the piece itself, but rather by it's philosophical foundation which is not part of the purchase (nor even ownable).
The Mona Lisa may be 'priceless', but all the money in the world is just a lot of money.
