Sounds technically unfeasible to me. Not impossible, just unfeasible.
There's a big difference from pulling a character profile off a realm and updating it in return, than pulling off a list and stats for every item in the AH, in realtime, every time someone tries to search the AH or do an Auctioneer scan (admittedly, a specific search shouldn't pull the WHOLE of the AH data). And what happens if a realm in a battlegroup goes down for some reason? With BGs the only ones who notice are the ones on the downed realm. With an Auction House, either a sections of the auctions suddenly disappear for a while, or depending on the setup you get a massive headache when something actually sells from the downed realm. Sure there's ways around it, but it would be a serious pain in the ass to implement.
Then you have to deal with the logging of sales between realms and the like. Trying to contact a seller or buyer if something comes up. Extra lag when dealing with the AH. There are dozens of little issues that would make this problematic. Not to say it couldn't be done, but it's not worth the effort for the potential benefit.
If you're having issues with making gold through the AH, I'd stick to quests. Alternatively, you can monitor the AH and look for what does sell. All realms tend to have little niche markets that I'm sure you can make use of if you can find out what they are. Worst comes to worst, transfer to a higher population server.
