Apparently Loot 2.0 BoA legendaries can be listed on the AH/RMAH and can be purchased. However, they cannot be sent to your stash.
So yeah, don't try it. Hopefully this will be fixed soon and players won't be able to list BoA items on the AH.
As for my 50M, well, it was a worthwhile gamble since I do really want my own Warzechian Armguards Got too used to running about 100% movement speed with Scramble on my wizard during the Beta.
Legendary items obtained in Patch 2.0.1 onward are supposed to be BoA, but players are still able to list them on the AH.
You can click to buy and you will successfully buy the item, however, you cannot send it to your stash (assuming this is because the item is BoA and you cannot obtain it on your account).
Yes, yes, I know the item is BoA. I attempted to buy it to see if the transaction could go through... and it did. First of all, BoA legendaries shouldn't be able to be put up for sale in the first place. Second of all... okay, there really is no second of all, it should have stopped right when someone tries to list a BoA item.
The ability to list Bind on Account items on the auction house was not intended and most certainly a bug. Early this morning, we implemented a hotfix which now instructs the auction house to reject all Bind on Account items, including those that currently have a 2-hour (or less) trade timer active.
Here’s some additional info:
As a result of this hotfix, players who attempt to list an account-bound item on the auction house will now receive an error ("[Item Name] Auction Failed (32105)") as soon as they hit the "Create Auction" button and the item will be returned to the player’s stash or inventory unchanged. Since deposits are only taken on a successful sale and not for simply posting an auction, players won’t lose any gold or real money for attempting to list account-bound items.
Account-bound items that are currently listed on the auction house will not be taken down. Instead, we’re letting those auctions sell or expire naturally.
As we speak, we’re looking at making any account-bound item that’s been sold on the auction house BoA for the player that purchased it. This would apply retroactively. Our desire is to avoid taking anything away from players if possible, but still ensure that our goals for items in patch 2.0.1 are being met. This particular solution seems to be best of both worlds.
We'll be sure to keep you all updated on any further changes, should they come through. Thanks for your reports!
Thanks for the heads-up. That'd be unfortunate if people blew money on this. Although one should expect that Blizzard would rollback these transactions anyways... I guess you'll just get your money back ;-)
Got spoiled by high movement speed. 25% isn't going to cut it anymore. Hell, 50% with Scramble is barely passable. With Illusionist... Borderline okay.
Bugs happen, but what Flexy said made me sick..... I fucking hate when players exploit the crap of a bug for their personal gain... I hope Blizzard will ban them after they fix this problem.
I'm gonna go out of line and CAPS the thread title and sticky it, Jaetch. At least for a couple days, to make sure as many people know about this as possible.
It seems the issue is due to the 2-hour trading window. I just checked and my items I found solo or had already timed out were shaded out and not able to be listed.
I believe their solution to be fair. Kinda glad that rather than return the gold to the buyer and the item to the seller they let the transaction go through and make the item BoA for its new owner.
Even though I dont use the AH, and hate it completely....this was probably the best way to handle the situation.
Yeah, sounds like a fair solution. If the seller already paid, change the bind and let it sell, but if it didn't sell, send it back, and don't let any more post.
So yeah, don't try it. Hopefully this will be fixed soon and players won't be able to list BoA items on the AH.

Good handling of it, imo.
Aaaand gone! Thanks Jaetch!
