I have one from even before the "Schticky" - don't remember what they called it then, but it was marketed as a lint roller/crumb catcher kind of thing. It didn't come with refills, but mine came in a 2-pack with one that was probably 2" in diameter and a purse-size foldable one (looks just like the roll-away).
My purse-size one actually was moved to my craft supplies exactly for the purposes of cleaning up snippets of paper and glitter
I guess I was ahead of my time!
ETA: I don't think the masking tape-type lint rollers will work as well, because assuming the roll-away is like the tool I have, the sticky substance is actually pretty squishy, so it can get down into the crevices of the die. $5 doesn't sound like a bad price to me; I'm pretty sure I paid a little over that for the ones I got and that had to be over 15 years ago. Also, mine didn't have refills available, and I never needed them. When you rinse it off with water and let it air dry, it restickifies itself and mine hasn't worn out yet. (Although I tend to forget I have it and don't use it that much).
