Eh, I think you are viewing it wrong. Nobody buys Bonds from Jagex for how any keys, Runecoins, days of membership or whatever they give - they purchase them for the money they get in return. I think that the two transactions (buying from jagex, then someone else redeeming for whatever) should be viewed entirely independently, but maybe that's just me. If you were to buy 24 bonds and redeem them for membership you'd be silly as there's a $50 gulf, but the same could be said for keys or Runecoins (going to use GBP as I have no idea of the USD values) - £70 gets you 450 keys, or 5200 Runecoins, the equivalent would be £108 or £96 if you were to buy Bonds and redeem them ingame, respectively.

Bonds, due to this, are for nothing other than buying for their GP value ingame.

@Rep - My Asc luck was weird, in 1.8k kills I made 3 bows, but then in the following 4.7k kills I made 13 bows + an extra 16 Sextus signets, I think I profited a fair amount from the latter, even though I'd done 500 extra Sextus kills. Unslain Bosses - Clan

I'm talking about the money Jagex get from the demand for bonds. Premium package makes it so that demand grows. People that buy bonds for real life money take advantage of that demand to sell them for more, but in the end, Jagex get $140 for every person that pays VIP with bonds (instead of $107 if paying by normal means).
