also instead of doing stats.Points.Value == price, I would do stats.Points.Value >= price so it can be equal to or greater than otherwise it always has to be equal to

Well, first off, it would be nice if you could put it in a code block because it would be way easier to read. Also, If you have your code written out like that and it's not a copy+paste error, I suggest taking a bit of time fixing it up so it's easier to read.

Since it's hard to read and you didn't give much information, I can't help very well. But to me, it looks like you may be trying to access the local player from a server script. If it's in a server script you can't use game.Players.LocalPlayer to get the local player. If it's something to do with the player, always use local scripts.
