When I give someone some information, and say "for what it's worth", I mean that this information might be irrelevant to him (but probably not to me), or that I know that he might not accept what I am saying.

If you add for what it's worth to something that you say, you are suggesting that what you are saying or referring to may not be very valuable or helpful, especially because you do not want to appear arrogant.
