    Soulbound to BoE for old toons items

    Lots of people have been boosting their old toons to 90 recently with the WoD pre-order. When you level it up, you log in to receive a mailbox full of your old items. The nice thing about this is that when your items are mailed to you, any soulbound items that were originally BoE or BoU are converted back to their original state. I'm not expecting anyone to buy a boost just for this, but if you use one in the future then look out for this because you could make some easy gold by selling your now BoE rare items.

    I could see this as a possible exploit, being that you need on BOE's in Dungeons, and then they become soulbound, and after boosting become BOE again.

    This used to be the case. i remember running ZA and needing on the Epic drops. they would become soulbound. But if your traded them to someone else eligible for loot and they traded them back they would become BoE once again. Blizz fixed this since. So if you hoard all your bag space with items like this and fill your bank etc. and boost your character would they all become BoE once again?

    My bags and my equipt items were mailed to me, most likely due to the bag upgrades.

    All of my items were mailed to me on my fresh boosted character, though all the items turned soulbound upon actual looting them from the mailbox even when they showed as Bind on Equip while still sitting in mailbox, this was approximately two weeks ago.

    Are you sure that they became soulbound? I had some netherweave bags before boosting, and mailed those same bags to another character after they were mailed to me because of the boost.

    Very nice, I'm sure some delving into this could prove to be even more useful. +4

    I've seen many post on other forums that the items indeed are BoE - until you bring them out of your mail, and then they get BoP. Maybe one just needs to get lucky, as I've seen people post about successes and failures.

    I was keen on getting a Glimmering Mail Girdle w/ a socket on my twink warrior, and wanted to upgrade my Pally to 90, so I tested this out.
    It doesn't look like it's going to work, items show as BoE in the mail, but once moved in to my bag they become soulbound.

    I've left the belt in the mail to see if there's a way around it, but not looking good so far.
    On the mobile app there's the option to sell it on the AH (it's not hidden like soulbound items) but it fails to create the auction each time.

    I think there would be something to exploit here though, but it's past my knowledge
