Is it possible to buy reputation on stack overflow? It seems that the people do answer more efficiently if bounty is offered :)

sure, send me £100/$ and I'll use all my votes on your questions. Refund not avalible when the anti-cheat system detects and deletes the votes. – tombull89 Mar 22 '11 at 11:43

Simply answer is: No, you can only earn reputation points.

A few posts on MSO that are relevant:
http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/69537/how-to-buy-rep-only-for-use-as-a-bounty
http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/25615/offering-actual-money-as-a-bounty
http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/57850/pay-money-to-so-for-quick-support

And note that this is Meta Super User, not Meta Stack Overflow.

Looking at the downvotes for this and related questions I guess it is considered very bad by the community even to think about it. Got the point :) – shantanuo Mar 24 '11 at 4:14
