I did a couple months ago. When I told my guildmates, I expected them to berate me and go ballistic and tell me I was ruining the game for some reason. But no one did. They cracked a few asian-farmer jokes but noone seemed to really care and a couple even said they were thinking about it.

I bought it for exactly the same reason Dis is thinking about doing it, repairs. I didn't want to buy an item or a mount or anything, I just needed a nice bankroll/cushion for repairs. My play times are not what they were. (Currently, they're really bad but even once RL clears up, they won't be stellar). When I play, I raid. I just simply don't have time or inclination to grind/farm for repair money.

And I'm pretty much satisfied with my purchase. I haven't had to farm for one second for anything other than faction, my gear gets repaired and I don't have to bug people. And I still have more than half of what I purchased in the bank for Naxx. =)
