The last thing we want is to make trading difficult for our long-standing and bustling free-to-play community...
But that's probably the only thing they want kept simple and fair, amirite?

Why buy stuff anyway? Doesn't that ruin the joy and purpose of the game?
Yeah, it comes down to the principle that you enjoy the things you put effort into the most.
I never understood people who buy accounts.

When you consider membership cost as equal to or less than the enjoyment you get from it, then you're not really losing any investment. So when you quit, that's either an equal worth or a profit in fun. In either case, selling your account would be profit.
(Disclaimer: I'm not encouraging the selling of RS accounts. That should go without saying but you know how people are.)

I see why people would sell it in that case - same reason people have garage sales. It just doesn't really make sense in this case, because it's selling virtual achievements (which aren't really achievements anyway) which you've already invested money into.
Logically the whole thing doesn't make sense. xD From paying to play the game monthly to selling the 'experience' accumulated.

exactly. The idea of selling an account once you've put any time into it is just stupid. Esp when you're spending 5.95 a month for the account. Unless you made the account solely for selling and only worked on strategic (fast) 99s, it wouldn't pay off.
If you're someone who plays for fun, then that's all the value you hold in your account. You don't value it in monetary means. It's just a way you enjoy passing the time.
Now say your enjoyment for the game comes to an end. You're bored of the game, and you have absolutely 0% intention of coming back to it. You now hold ownership of something pretty much worthless to you (as it won't provide you with any more fun), but it's something other people place a monetary value on. That's basically free money that can be used on a new means of enjoyment.
What reason do you have not to sell it?
(Acceptable answers: Sentimental value, potential legal repercussions)

Because SERIOUSLY?
Free trade is effectively a members benefit now. What the
, Jagex. You take a good, sensible update, and turn it into yet another membership ploy. THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.This plus the highscores.. There's a point where you're going to have to admit that you consider f2p to be a demo, and you have clearly passed it. And while I would still dislike the company for going back on their "f2p is not and will never be a demo" promise, that's kind of a moot point. They've already contradicted the majority of what they used to stand for as a company. I fully expect the worst of them now. But they could at least admit it upfront.
Just... I don't know why I bother to comment on these things anymore.

Maxed accounts with full quest points and several hundred mill on them sell for 300-500. I think you over estimate your worth, sir.

I don't see why people sell accounts. The most you get from an account is $300.. and if you figure how many months it took you to build that character with membership, you have to multiply that by $5.95 (or relevant currency) and that's how much you have invested in your account, not taking into account time. x.x;
Account sales will rise because
A - you can't trade money with your new account, so you can just sell the whole dam account.
B - your old account doesn't have a trade limit. So sell that to the gold farmers.

Accounts like mine would fetch a much higher price.
