I'm quite confused by the replies in this topic.

As per the rules of Tiki Central bdler3 is allowed to post Tiki auctions here to inform everyone of the tiki items he's selling. The items are clearly Tiki related. I think many Tiki Central Members will never make it out to the Kahiki Outlet Store, so having auctions of this sort posted here is a benefit to the Tiki Central Community.

Furthermore, the Kahiki Outlet Store has the power, if they so choose, to not sell their items to bdler3, or to limit the number of items they're selling per customer, which is a common practice. But it appears the Kahiki is choosing to not do that.

Finally, based on what I read in the topic that Tiki Greg linked to, it appears that he is/was a legitimate reseller asked by Michael Tsao himself to auction items off.

Tiki Auctions are welcome on Tiki Central. I have always encouraged TC members to post their feelings on auction item quality, value, and rarity as a service to other members who may not know those things about an auction. Additionally, if someone knows an auction to be bogus or a scam, posting about that is a huge service to all of TC. But the comments here don't seem to be about any of that.

So I don't fully understand what is about. If anyone has a beef with bdler3, please take it off of the public forums.
