I've never twinked in any Action RPG before, so this was really my first time experiencing it. At the core this game is about item finding and advancing your character- I found accelerating that using outside means will just shorten that enjoyment of progression.
Unfortunately, you are only handicapping yourself there. (Well, maybe that actually is what you're going for, in which case never mind!) Still, Blizzard have stated, albeit in not so many words, that the AH really is supposed to be as much of a source of loot as ordinary item drops are, which apparently is why the loot people are generally procuring is so underwhelming even by pRNG standards.
There's really very little to be gained abstaining from using the AH other than making it more tedious still to progress in the game after a certain point.
