Worthless means the item has no value (at least to the person speaking). A free block of ice for an Eskimo would be worthless, since they have an abundance of ice already. However, in Phoenix during the summer, free ice might draw a crowd. Your advice, for instance, could be worthless, even though there is no way to place a price on that among friends. There would be a price for advice only if you were a consultant to a company. Empty of worth is bad.

Priceless means you cannot put a price on this item; it is too valuable. A soul has a high worth, but would be priceless, even if you could sell such a thing. Advice could also be priceless, or a child's smile, or a chance to relax after a long week. Empty of price is good.
