Basically title. Vanilla have some gear like from quests like the trinkets from <For the Horde> which not only are they great, but for some specs are BIS for a long time (See Blackhand's Breadth for classes like rogues, warrs and feral DPS) or just plain BIS forever (See Mark of Tyranny if you're doing Bear druid). Say your main spec is balance druid, you'd obviously want eye of the beast for that, and after progressing through the endgame content you end up replacing it with Neltharion's Tear, Hakkar heart trinket or Talisman of Ephemeral Power, you'd be left with a now useless piece of gear you normally sell or shard.
But what if you had an Offspec and you're wanting to gear up and having another reward piece from the same quest would be beneficial, like if you wanted to have a tank offspec as druid, you'd probably want Mark of Tyranny now (which is a trinket you could never replace) or if you were a feral DPS, you'd probably want Blackhand's Breadth (Which you end up replacing in very late content). It even works on more advanced quest, like <For All to See> (AKA Ony Head quest, which has amazing rewards that are very hard to replace for certain specs.) and <The Perfect Poison> which has you picking up venom sacs from Venoxis and Kurinaxx in ZG and AQ20 respectively (which offers extremely good pre 40man raid pieces).
My proposition is to have an NPC that would let you change your quest reward once for a fair amount of gold. Flavorwise it could be a bronze dragon who would let you go back in time specifically for that moment.

Re: Quest reward NPC
Enabling people to play all different specs of their classes (especially hybrids!) is a good idea.
Simply letting people cough up some gold seems a bit too easy, though. The amount to be paid would then inevitably either be too high (for inexperienced players who haven't figured out goldmaking) or too low (for filthy rich veterans who have played here since server launch).
How about rather making these quests repeatable instead, so that people can just collect all different rewards, but have to put in a reasonable effort?

There is a way to change Epic AQ40 Ring with a quest for gold, so why not this??
