There's no need to get rid of it to be honest, anyone that says an AH is "far superior" is just being delusional as AHs are as follows:
Walk to an NPC or Building (Wards and Retainers)
Search the item you want through categories or search by item ID (Search and Ward locations)
Bid or buy (what's currently missing)
Price history (Double edged sword.)
Money is stored on the server or sent to you (Money is given to your retainer.)

Both systems are basically one in the same at this point.
