That is what I thought it was too, a place to put up bazaars. I know the MW is not like an AH but you can still search an item and see the going price for it so it's almost like an AH, just less convienient since you got to move from place to place to buy your thing and then go back to the item search.

It's not THAT bad really now that I think about it lol... the function is the same as an AH, you just have to run from retainer to retainer to buy your item. no? The inconvenience is when you want to put things up to sell, you can't search from your retainer and have to go back and forth.

An option when you click on the item while in the bazaar function of the retainer to "search similar item" would solve that I think.
