what is the difference between like/thanks and 'rep'

Can someone explain the difference to me? just trying to understand the forum.

Thanks and likes are the same thing. Repping is giving someone points because you like their posts/comments.
If you get enough rep points, you can use it to buy awesome stuff!

Old thread, I know, but what kind of things can you buy? I've had a few very generous donations come my way.
