I just won a mount in the lottery, but my character all ready had that mount skill. So I just received the skill as an item that grants the skill that is bound to my character and thus the item is useless
Therefore I would love the possibility to buy an Un-binder from the lotro-store for ie. 95 TP that will make the item unbound so I can give it to another character that does not have that mount.
Not a hope in hell. If you want a burglar steed on your burglar, the going rate for it in-store is more like 2,000 turbine points.
Same will be true for any type of item. Best you could hope for would be summat that loosens to 'bind to account' - any wider and it would be wide open to abuse. Even that would likely cost thousands of tp and be one-shot.

Reason: correct typing error
Gee, another person who, through neglect, deprived another person of a steed...and then proceeds to ask for MORE STUFF.
Maybe the reason Turbine seems greedy is because it is, indeed, powered by its fans.
I was not aware that the mount would get bound to the character and not the account, also thought that the chance of winning was equal independent of how many joined.
But I'm requesting an item like this for the mount not to be wasted and if I had know it would have meant that another player lost the ability to receive the mount - I would no have entered. I'm sorry if my unknowing have cost another player a nice mount that was never my intention!
This item would though be useful in other situations where you receive an item that binds on acquire but is completely useless for that character.

If Turbine created an un-binder for a horse, you can be sure that it will cost the same as the store mount; if you want the item so much that you're willing to spend that amount of TP to unbind it why not just buy it directly?
As for unbinding BoA items, the idea is to get you to run the instance over and over again to get the desirable item on the toon that could use it. If one could unbind these items there'd be a lot of drama over everyone rolling on every item, because they have an alt that could use it. Frustrating, I know, to always see an item drop when you're on a toon that can't use it but rarely drops when you're on a toon that could use it.

The hole point would be that the unbinder would be far cheaper than buying the mount of the store, and if a potential unbinder would lower some of the grinding you find yourself doing once in a while in this game I would find it as a positive thing.

I don't think their plan is to get you to run a instance over and over to "grind" for something, that route leads to either boredom or frustration, frustrated/bored folks don't play, folks that don't play don't subscibe/buy TP, lack of subers or TP buys leads to lack of funds, lack of funds leads to a game closing and unemployment and profit margine decline.
Don't be a grinder, subscribe to possible solutions
If X instance dropped Y loot only Z class could use, and since a Z class wasn't along and its bound it became vendor trash, BUT if there was a unbind from character for account item in the store what would happen?
1.Turbine would have a item to sell in store generating revinue for game development.
2.Player wouldn't have to vendor it, but have a OPTION (for TP) to unbind it for a alt., therebye avoiding that grind you hate (and the boredom to unsubing scenario).
3.Becuase its only unbinding from a toon to account, there will be no gold spammer exploits available to use.
4.Everyone in the raid rolling on it now for alt: it was going to waste before, now its not, what is so wrong there? Maybe they will have to make a choice to loot rolls and will take that, rather than something else that you REALLY wanted for the current instance runner, allowing you to avoid even more GRIND.
As to the "they took the lottery that I could have won whaaaawhaaaa", tough, it's a game of chance, you got a free ticket for a lottery, and someone else won something they couldn't really use, so what? You didn't buy the ticket it was handed to you free. That logic is the type that complains, "what? no french fries with this?" when they are handed a free hamburger, if you can't be satisfied with the free burger, then don't accept it.
