MauiTiki, you can get his last known address & Cell Phone number off of the Honolulu BBB "Deadbeats" list.

I love the list of "Government Actions" against him:

On December 18, 2003 in the Circuit Court of the First Circuit, the State of Hawaii by its Office of Consumer Protection filed a Complaint and Summons, Civil No. 03-1-2519-12 against Allen St. James doing business under several names including Tiki Trader, Island Style Decor & Hawaiiana Traders. It is alleged that Allen St. James failed to deliver goods as ordered or promised, misrepresented the expansion & the opening of a physical store, and failed to disclose the true status of his operations.
The Office of Consumer Protection seeks a Court order restraining Allen St. James from engaging in from engaging in the unfair practices in violation of HRS 480-2 and 481A-3, and order him to pay restitution to every consumer who purchased merchandise from him.

Civil No. 03-1-2519-12 (VSM) (Other Civil Action) On January 20, 2004 the Circuit Court of the First Circuit ordered a Preliminary Injunction against Allen St. James and those persons in participation with him from making available to the public the website at http://www.tikitrader.com or offering to sell Hawaiian, Polynesian or nautical-themed merchandise and collecting payments from consumers. A hearing on a motion for default judgment against Allen St. James is scheduled for February 19, 2004.

On March 11, 2004 the Circuit Court of the First Circuit ordered and decreed default and final judgment against Allen St. James upon all counts files and all contracts between St. James and consumers regarding merchandise promoted, advertised, or offered for sale are void and unenforceable. Allen St. James is ordered to pay restitution to every consumer, including but not limited to identified consumers, who paid for merchandise St. James failed to deliver. St. James is ordered to pay a civil penalty of Thirty-two Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($32,000.00)

He's listed as having no assets or income, so I'm afraid it could be difficult to get your money back. If it helps you could always call his step-mom Joni and ask her to intercede on your behalf, she's listed in the phonebook.
