I have actually read reviews of truing stand where they claimed to have worked in a bike shop and didn't have or need a truing stand to true wheels... there are also videos on youtube that show how you can true a wheel without a truing stand (and also how to build one inexpensively)... I have a "truing stand" that I bought from park tools (low end that used a bike stand to hold the wheel)... I actually prefer to use the methods shown on youtube as they are simpler...
