Feel free to host a chess tournament. Advertise it as "free". Then casually mention at the tournament that players can buy back captured pieces for $5 each.
If a player complains that the tournament is unfair, remind them that they have the same opportunity to buy back pieces, but they could play in the tournament for free. After all, with a sufficient gap in skill, they could just keep capturing pieces until their opponent's wallet is empty.
A player may show up who didn't intend to spend money. (After all, the tournament was advertised as "free".) He may perceive that he has no chance to compete, even though he is a skilled player, and his opponents aren't. Just remind him that he spent the resource of "time" learning to be a skilled player, and it's unfair to the other players, who just started playing chess yesterday. You're just allowing them to invest a different resource ("money"), in order to allow people win win in other ways than, you know, actually playing the game.
