If some people do not value their time - it's their freedom not to value it
That's just silly, and very short-sighted view on why developers share their work on vb.org.
Nothing against you selling your stuff, but that's just demeaning to many here who value their time more than you do, and actually make more money out of it, without the need to put a price on every tiny bit of script they write.
Paid hacks, IMHO, can represent a lot of problems to vb.org and it's members, if endorsed in any way by vb.org. Since the community here cannot see the code and test it, it's bound to have some with security flaws that will go unnoticed. We'll be probably see a lot of disputes from members who didn't receive their goods after paying for it, and a lot of issues with licensing keys and licensing schemes like that one you did for that html manual script.
What you should do man is do what brian ( vBAdvanced ) and others did..just make a website where you sell all your things ( also have your free stuff on there ) and just link it in your signature. That way vbulletin.org has no affiliations or anything with it...wouldnt that be the best thing to do?
We may look at this as a paid monthly service in the future. I mean if you are going to be making money off your hacks, then we should make money off the advertisement on our site.
I can't guarantee anything will come of it though.
That would be great! Do something similar to what sitepoint.com does.

He doesn't like the fact that you have to place it in signatures. He believes they get unnoticed.
