You definitely don't need a truing stand.

OK, you can true the wheel placed in a spare fork that's mounted upside
down in a hole on your work bench with a c-clamp and a playing card to
judge alignment. :P

Or flip the bike upside down, which is what I do for quick adjustments.

But if you're thinking of paying $300 for a new set of wheels...what's a
fifty dollar consumer grade truing stand in the grand scheme?
