AFAIK this is different from the original auction house mount. That one had a auctioneer and a vendor who could repair things. This one comes with an auctioneer and a "mailbox" NPC.

For some people whose purpose in playing WoW is to make money trading, this makes it marginally easier. Instead of having to park your mount next to a mailbox, you can both post your auctions and collect your money on one mount. But, since most people doing auction stuff also need access to a bank, it doesn't mean they can easily just abandon the city and live out in the country.

Many of the people who might consider this mount are already playing for free because they make enough money in-game to buy a token every month.

Also, it's $132 if you're Canadian, otherwise it's 90 USD.
