Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

With the announcement of AV coming to the PVE server it brought the Ivory Raptor to my attention. I wasn't sure if you could buy the mount without the riding skill. So, I went and tested it on one of my lowbie alts. The problem I ran into was that I was under the impression that I could simply sell the mount back and get my 100 gold. I was mistaken. Is there anyway I could have the mount removed from my account and the gold returned? Thanks for your time.
