I'd say you should remember that there's plenty of us who were at the right age of just getting our first independent income and such right when Magic started booming, so I think it's reasonable to expect that there's a few people here who do have some forgotten shoebox of cards that they got long ago if they still don't play today.

CCGs only get as expensive as you allow them to become, and if the game is actually worth playing there's ways to win without spending it all on the super-rare-whatever cards.
