I have discovered that this expansion has really done a great service to mount collectors via the Black Market Auction House.
The Black Market Auction House is an auction house that has different items placed into it (via Non-player characters.) The most noteable things I have seen in it were level 90 epics (PvP gear) as well as level 60 tier sets for transmogrification. But (as evidenced by my title) the most exciting feature of the auction house is the fact that it sells hard to get raid mounts.
Since launch, I have only personally noticed there being two raid mounts, the Azure Drake and the Drake of the South Wind (Malygos 25 and Al'Akir 25, respectively.) All of the items in the auction house are a bid only status, so they are bound to go for crazy amounts of gold, but it opens up a great avenue for mount collectors who don't necessarily always have the guild available to do mount farming runs. There have also been pets that are instance drops (such as the phoenix hatchling). I know I am personally going to be saving up my coppers for Invincible. :)
Normally on my mount collecting endeavors, I buy the mounts as they become available (such as all the reputation mounts.) However with this new addition, it definitely pays to save up in order to snag some of these mounts that are bound to go for 6 digits. (The last two on my server went for 350k+) It might be too high a price for some, but if you have your heart set on a specific mount, this is extremely welcome news.
So, happy mount (and gold) farming everyone!
