On thing about the Mog Garden I love...fast access to vender trash dumping. I just pull up FFIXAH and do a quick check on AH prices and if the good ol'Mog buddy will buy it for more, I'll dump on him.
One thing I try to do is sell scrolls on AH, just cause some you can't get from venders. Problem I find is, even if I list it for like 100g over the vender price...tends to get returned to my box. Happens quite a bit with DRK scrolls. If I've got the space, I'll cycle them twice on the AH...if no sale after that...to the vender man I go.
I'll do the same with items used in quests (if it's listed on the wiki). Again, give it about 2 cycles and off to the vender man.
I don't even bother selling scrolls on AH these days unless they are actually bona fide difficult to get (stuff that requires Burning Circle battles, etc), or if they are worth more than double the vendor price.
Why? Because if I came across one without even trying, it'd take your average player <10min to travel to the area, kill a few mobs and get the drop on anything that isn't in Adoulin. I find that most spells dropped by non-NM mobs fall out of the sky like candy. Just spend a few min in there if you actually need the stupid thing, lol.
Once you hit Lv99, get your sparks gear, there's nothing you can't handle Pre-Adoulin (which is why they go for vendor price in the first place). If JoeWHM out there is too lazy to spend 5min to go to Onzozo, Gustav, or wherever his spells drop (usually goblins) to get the spells he needs from mobs he can easily kill solo, then that's his problem.
And even then, most of the "required" spells are found on vendors anyways, easily enough to get up To Lv99.
EDIT: What really gets me are people who gouge vendor-sold spells at the AH. For example, the many spells sold at Mhaura. They sell from the Vendor at 20k; people buy them and list them for 80k (and they actually sell for that!). Shame on the greedy people who don't have any better ways of making gil other than blatantly ripping people off, and shame on the idiots actually falling for it and not looking up source/price of expensive spells in the first place and just going "buy buy buy buy" without doing any research.
