There’s a whole lot of gold to be spent/thrown away in the BMAH (Black Market Auction House), from old goin-for-gold-cap brutosaurs, to tier 3 armor sets from the non-existant Naxxramas, pets, and much more.
What Is the BMAH
For those who don’t know, the BMAH allows players to bid on special items that are not normally sold. It is hosted by Madam Goya, and you can now find her on the east side of Dornogal, at the end of the walkway in The Fissure. Or you can simply copy this waypoint:

Of course, there are also some lucky ones who, for better or worse, avoided spending their gold on the BMAH and seem pretty happy about it:
