Neutral Auction Houses...

...Which ones are they? I heard about them but have never been sure.
I'm guessing the ones in Tanaris and Booty Bay as when I have looked at them ages ago they had hardly anything on them (I thought that the AH was broken there or something)...
Amirite?
How often are they used?

The auction house in Booty Bay is commonly used to sell pages of the green hills of stranglethorn. I don't know about the others.

As mentioned by Maurice you usually just end up selling quest items that drop in the area where they are located. If you want to buy items that are just available on one faction you do it there to. Otherwise yes indeed they are quite empty .. Usually no more then a couple of pages of items in total.

Or if you want to give $$ from your Alliance main to your horde alt. Note however though that you will need a 2nd person as you cannot start a auction and buyout with a character from the same account.
I have put "Refreshing Spring Water" on a 50g buyout, given a guildie 51g to buy it, and viola 1 hour later my lvl 8 Horde has 50g.

Note that Tojone's "trick" only works on PvE servers, as you cannot roll a horde and alliance character on the same PvP server.

Isn't there one in Area 51 in Netherstorm too? I have a weak memory of something like that, however i may just have mixed up the bankers with the auctioneers.

It's possible, but I don't think so. I'll check it out when I find the time.
Oh and by the way, they're also used to sell horde-only minipets to alliance, and alliance-only minipets to horde. I don't know how often people do that, but it's the only way for someone to obtain minipets that are only available through the other faction.

Not quite, there's a 10% cutback that Blizz inserted, if you do it with an item for 50g, you will only get 45g transferred.
Still usefull if you don't play your toon on other side anymore and has loads of money. Works for mats too (like shards selling from Horde side to Alliance for only 1 copper :D) but you have to have a fast partner then.

Wrong information is wrong.
No neutral AH in:
Everlook
Ratchet
Area 51
I don't even think there is a bank at everlook and Area 51.
Also, I vaguely remember transfering 300g over to my hunter via the neutral AH, but only receiving 240g, therefore it's approx. 20% cutback.

Unless this has changes, these are the formulas for the AH fees -- both neutral and faction:

Not vagely but clear in my mind, done 2 weeks ago (in patch 2.4.3):
Sold trash for 400G and got 340G and after that I sold something for 60G and got 54G.
So it's not a fixed percentage apparantly. (It was Booty Bay and I'm honored with them).

Go back and take a look bro. Unless they removed them, definitely a bank and Neutral AH in Everlook and definitely a bank at Area 51. By the time I got to Netherstorm I knew better than to even look at the neutral AH so I dont remember if there is one of those there, but its quite possible there is one in with the bankers at the north east part of town...
