Seriously make it happen already. I haven't bought new gear in 3 months just because I don't want to deal with that instance copy paste room hell. The search made things a bit easier but it's just a band aid over a completely non functional system. Most items aren't for sale because most people have given up on it ever functioning.

AH needs to be quick, require no loading to another zone and it needs price histories to make selling and buying things more convenient. Currently there is no economy to speak of.
