I play pure. I basically don't trade with anyone who I don't personally know is legit, unless the barter is perfect gems. That is the only commodity that I think are not duped since they are pretty easy to find and make.
So, don't trade, just pick up what you can where you can, keep the best and sell the rest, and gamble now and again.
For example, last month I gambled a +2 Assassin Skills, 40%IAS, and resistance mod or two Katar. Great little rare for my Hard Core Trapper Assassin, and better than Bartuc's since it does not need 79/79 Strength/Dexterity.
I have on occasion gambled decent rare amulets and rings. You can, if you so choose to, do MF runs by yourself in games where folks are leveling elsewhere, and pick up the drops.
There are plenty of ways to put together a decent equipment package if you so desire.
Leave the trading for others. Be a self made character. :) PS, I also like to craft things, just because. :)
