Sallam;
I forgot that you are not supposed to call Allah anything apart from his 99 names/ attributes and I called him "Priceless" as he is above any price; have I done shirk?

This is a common misconception that Allah's Names are restricted to 99. In fact, if you count all the Names of Allah that are in the Qur'an and Sunnah they exceed 99.
The 99 Names are special Names which Muslims are encouraged to memorize (including their meaning) as a means of gaining spiritual reward and intimate knowledge about Allah.
However, Allah has many more Names than the 99 Names, including Names which are hidden in the knowledge of Allah which only He knows.
So it is not Shirk to refer to Allah by another Name or Quality unless such a Name or Attribute is unbetting for Allah.
Now to call Allah “Priceless”, it depends by what you mean by that. Since it is an ambiguous term and it can give people a wrong idea therefore I don't recommend you use such language about Allah. Study the 99 Names of Allah which are beautiful and profound in meaning.
