Actually no Aliriya, BoP case is diametrically different.
As for BoE, I have already explained how that works.
But for BoP the value of one item might and often is much greater than the value of the vendoring/disenchanting price. For example a Turban's value cannot be quantified in gold for spellcasters, because you cannot acquire that item any other way than by winning a roll. Ofcourse you can say, that the people not needing on such an item are losing gold, but the value is what matters here. As for BoE items acquirable on AH, both parties lose/gain the same amount of gold, as for BoP items on person gains 1-10g and the other loses probably hundreds/thousands gold, by having to do the instance over and over again, in which time he could have farmed consumables, gold, other items. I don't know why this is so difficult to understand for you people, but sometimes you gotta let go and just admit that you are wrong.
Let me give you an example from real life. Let's say you have a girlfriend you want to propose to. One day you walk on a sidewalk and spot a diamond ring lying on the ground, but one other person spots it too. You both rush to it and grab it at the same time. Does the fact, that you want to propose to your girlfriend gives you any more right to the ring than the other guy, just because he doesn't have a girlfriend and just wants to sell it? If your answer is yes, I'd advise you to seek a help from a proffessional counselor.
Have a nice weekend.
