This is what a plvl 40 self found barb looks like.

so what you're trying to say is the ones who use the AH are the cool kids?
Edit: TC in that thread expressly stayed away from BARTERING too so he did that voluntarily.

The thing to note is that it took him 400+ hours on his barb to get there. Whereas using the AH, he could get there in well under half that time. So yes, you don't have to use the AH to beat this game. But it'll take you over twice as long to get to the same place.

I played all the way to 60 on my barb before I used the AH. I even had MP up to 4 by the time I hit lvl 60.
So you don't "need" to use the AH to run MP lvl games.

I'm a self found player as well. Only AH trading I've done is sell a few items here and there.
Sitting at about 230 hours with my witch doc.
It's a pain sometimes as the game always feels hard, but every item is a possible upgrade which keeps me going.

If it can't be fixed with pantyhose and fencing wire, it's not worth fixing.

Lmfao, when people say "Monster Power", they're implying Inferno. Of course MP 4 Nightmare is still a joke lol.
Now, try taking your lvl 60 Barb to MP4 Inferno with your self found gear and tell me how many minutes you last.

So what's wrong with his barb? Looks fine to me.
In fact I'd say it's fairly impressive considering he hasn't used the AH at all.

So what you had to trade in d2 to get good gear. You can find awesome loot that you just can't use, that's what the AH is for. When I find something good, I think well if I can't use it at least it's money towards something I can use.
I don't get what this topic is about? Using the AH is a good thing not a bad thing.
Seriously look at what you're saying. This guy in no way participated in the in game economy of course his stuff is going to be garbage.
