INS 39 bonds 29m flat like 7-8 hours ago, cheers all are sold
I guess for the real merchers this is peanuts but im happy with 1540m profit holding 200 bonds since like April or so.

That money spent on 200 bonds back in April would have earned you 3b to 4b if you invested in rares. If you are willing to chuck your most precious possessions like phats because someone said words like crashing/dying/quitting and then find yourself unable to rebuy for what you sold for, then you don't deserve to own a phat.

Easy to say now, you couldn't say that in April.

Bonds are more guaranteed profit than rares. So DiskOfReturn may still be happy about the profit he made. Do not click here if you are lazy!

100% this. It’s hard to predict which year will see an explosion in rares. Meanwhile it’s easy to dump a bunch of money into bonds which essentially have a large guaranteed return

I bought a bunch of assassin walks for around 100m when they were new and sold them all for around 500m each. Am I upset I didn’t keep them? Of course, I’d be way way richer now. But at the time nobody knew for sure where these prices were going to go and it seemed much safer to sell them and reinvest in something else. Even now I don’t think I made that bad a move selling at 500/ea since hindsight is 20/20

Many players including myself are at the point where money has no longer a purpose.
They have the items that they want to have,they have the skill levels that they want to have and there is basicly nothing to spend on other then membership and collecting silly items for fun.

Not everyone can be bothered with rares and trading all day every day. Bonds are an easy method with virtually no risk where 1 yearly flip of 10b in bonds which takes a total time of maybe 4 hours pays for 5+years of membership.
Not to mention that 10b itself will pay for 20 years of membership already and most players have well over 10b,they dont really care about making more as long as they have their items and a decent amount of cash and make a somewhat decent return with little effort and risk.

Rares where a good investment,better then bonds but in hindsight its always easy. Rares also have their moments where they dont rise at all for 1+year or even drop.
Santas peaked at 1b and then fell back to 600m, blue peaked at 30 and fell back to 20.
For all you know it could happen again. Would you invest in 3.6b santas now hoping next year they will be 5b? i surely wouldnt,not worth the risk.

Especially considering that Jagex has a history of re-releasing previously discontinued items. Rubber turkeys, for example.
