I think this is a bug but I’m gonna ask here before reporting.
Itried to open a ticket but GMs were unable to assist me so I’m asking for confirmation here.
I mistakenly sold a Taran Icebreaker to a vendor, when I bought back it was not BoE anymore and couldn’t sell but shouldn’t there be a sort of warning and a confirmation for unreversible actions like this? If I try to equip a BoE it asks for a confirmation but it seems that selling it now gives the same result
There is.
When you try to sell it to a vendor there is a prompt that asks you if you are sure, because that will make the item bound to you. You have to accept and when you sell you also get the tmog.
not on boe
had the same issue on boe from old raids
Just tried it again on a boe I got and didn’t ask for any confirmation
some times it does and then others it does not its a really strange system they have, ive noticed vanilla and tbc you have to be careful but afterwards you have a warning atleast for me they do.
It’s mostly on item you can share with other players you get that pop up.
Yeah seems that it’s a bit weird and I remembered wrong.
If you have the tmog it does not make it soulbound, if you do not have the tmog, you get the appearance unlocked, and make it warbound.
Although I do not know if any of my addons play a role in that. Personally I have set up an auto sell addon that sells soulbound low ilvl items, but not BoE, so it is pretty easy to avoid selling a BoE.
It’s because vendoring it ads it to your transmog collection.
Otherwise it would be easy to get transmogs from boe stuff. Vendor it, get the transmog, then buy it back and auction it.
But they could simply add a confirmation button of some sort now that its like that, it was not the case before this exp, or if you vendor back maybe remove the trasmog like it is removed when you trade to someone else in your group
I’m quite salty because I lost about a million gold on a right click without any warning 
but if its not a bug there should be some QoL to be implemented imo
Or you could take responsibility for your own actions and learn to be more cautious in the future
A confirmation button would be very obnoxious. Today I got some 500 epic pieces or more (and I am not the only one). Vendoring those with a confirmation button would be infuriating (and you would confirm anyway if you are not paying attention).
What I do when I get an boe piece is put it in a dedicated bag so I dont accidently vendor it.
I mean just for BoE, like there is already one if you try to equip it, did you drop 500 BoE? At the very least if an action is irreversible like this there should be one, any other action that binds an item to you have a confirmation button except this
Sorry but what? In what world is taran icebreaker 1m gold?
Atm there are over 5 of them in the ah with 6k price each, it’s not that rare or expensive.
There could be some setting for toggle it off
Maybe Classic?
When I checked last week there were 2, the cheapest one at 1.5 mil, maybe people running Stratholme for rivendale mount made it cheaper dunno
Is it possible to have 2 mil in classic?
Well yes, you have almost everyone and their grandma running those low level instances, and they might also have buffed the drop rates of those weapons with the event.
Generally if it makes you feel better, you did not lose much.
1 on my realm, 5k
Ravencrest has it for 2k atm.

Just found out that it only becomes warbound if you dont have the transmog. If you already have the mog it stays boe.
