I emailed Dave on Monday morning. I sent him a PM either yesterday or the day before. I totally understand ppl being too busy, as I am one of them. However, I really need to move on this project and need to put some sort of system in place soon. I would gladly pay him for his services, but it sounds like he does not have the time.
I understand the uCS hack on vbulletin.org does something similar to the point system, but it looks too geared towards pushing "forum economy" - fake money. (though they offer a paypal plugin, it still has too much fluff) My next option will be to use a real e-commerce system like CubeCart or oS e-Commerce.
I still prefer your point system though.
