Bonuses can not be restricted or regulated since they are presented as gifts, which by their nature, are free. 10usd=100k is a fair exchange rate and tc selling doesn't reduce nabi's profit at all: giving an easier (cheaper) access to tcs grows the economy through the increased expenditure of tcs from the whole community. Without considering the revenue due to the promos etc.
Also, if, x TC seller offers great deals (cheap TC and gifts), why would someone want to buy from Nabi? They could just buy the TC they wanted and they would have enough to buy the items (promos, for example) they wanted.
The problem is that some people increase the amount of TC for the same amount of money.

You can't do anything about that, if you just prohibited this kind of deals, tcs sellers could still send bonuses secretly at a later time, as gifts, dealing via pms/irc. You can not prohibit gifts, can you? This would be a far worse situation, imo.
The tc seller has to buy from nabi the tcs he sells, nabi earnings from that pov are not to be underestimated. Then if you want to buy full packs, the promo is better than any deal you can find in the market, cause ppl who resells packs (ppl who have paid nabi btw) usually want to gain something from their economical activity. And if you want to buy a single item, there are still qi restriction problems, which cannot be avoided by anyone.
Many ppl wouldn't even buy anything if only nabi deals were avaiable.
Everything imo, obviously :P
First of all, I heard, from hanz0, I believe, that TC sellers shouldn't lower the price of TC too much in order to keep Nabi's profit high. The defined limit was the one that Hector used in his shop, which was about 10$ for 100k.
Does the TC limit still apply to the current TC shops and does it even apply to TC sales? And what about the bonus TC additions, are they legal?
I could gain, let's say, 1,000,000 TC. I'd be able to sell it, buy promos and sell them for higher prices and there would be no profit for Nabi Studios, from me.
Well Hector is trusted a lot among the community for tc sales & if you see even at better deals at other places, Hector still gets customers cause he's trusted a lot.
Bonuses are done mainly to attract more people.
Besides 50$=600k can be considered as a wholesale deals like in real world.From what the standards are stated to be 1$=10k ,this shouldn't be legal but nothing much can be done against them.PMs/IRC , like Maliduana stated can make them private like underworld/seekrit.
Also you questioned about people buying from Nabi. People buy from them cause they are most trusted source.In many cases it's parents who do the buying & they would not be intrested in doing a research on forums & neither bother to listen to kids etc.
Boosters which can be bought only from Nabi have a special achivement/fun factor with them.It's a different feeling to get tc by winning using boosters &rather than just spending $'s to get things without any work.
