Runescape Bonds are basically the same thing that Eve Online's PLEX system. RS players buy bonds with real money which can then be used towards their subscription. Players how make enough gold ingame can trade their gold for Bonds as well allowing them to play the game for free. However bonds can also be used to trade with other players for items.
You can send $20 on Bonds, then trade those bonds ingame to other players for the items you want. This is essentially creating a RMT market within Runescape and cutting out the goldfarmers and middlemen at the same time
