I investigated this further and it appears to be the same behaviour for all share-able items. This is not restricted to dropping it off from the courier - you can drop it on the ground from a hero as well.

This change was done to fix Bound Eye, but looks like it had this unintended side effect as you can "pool gold" (although only in half the full price of the item).

I don't quite get how this was rejected. If you can sell teammate items that haven't left the game it allows item and gold pooling.

You could've just PM"ed me next time like the rules said - regardless you make a valid point.
