If Jaco finishes his data sheet and has actual numbers showing that people can and do reliably and currently pick up cards for significantly less than SCG prices, then that would be something. Until then it's pointless. I might as well talk about this sweet mono-green lands control deck I built that costs like $50. "Don't Mazes and Tabernacles and Explorations cost a lot more than that, even without the duals?" you'd say. But nah, I'd say, I found them in some dealer's bin for $2 each. But what does that tell us about the format's average cost? Nothing.
C'mon ... a tournament with 347 participants is "local" for you? These are some of the newest entries on morphling and I must admit I didn't check the dates. I showed examples with 40 to 50 participants too and I wouldn't call them "Local" either. It only proves that you don't NEED to dump 1k$ or more to win tournaments.

Every tournaments not held by SCG are only "Local" and not relevant for you; SCG's your dogma for pricing worldwide and you try to manipulate people with a narrow poll and false information (1.5k average cost etc.), so why continue arguing?

I nearly bet you doubt JACO's chart too
