Originally posted by Fl@k Monkey Sorry, i meant my response to this bit: These decks are $999 each, Retail. And seeing as they're selling over the 1000's they cant be to bad. So iv gone ahead and ordered one as new from Cannon Sound & Light off ebay for $700 AUS. Not a scratch dj, House/Trance all the way Anyways, Items are ordered and on the way

yeah dude,

Dj gear and a lot of other techincal equipment is really expensive in AUS. Just try to get it from rellies or visits overseas. Anywhere overseas is much cheaper.

CDJ200s are much cheaper, that's why they're seling over the CDJ1000s.


When i bought my senns, they were $300 here. But i got them in US for about $110AUD.

Pricing in Australia is very odd compared to the rest of the world from my research.

well, i don't see how it costs $300 for shipping.

Just browse aroudn the prices from retailers aroudn the world, and u'll see that the difference isn't that huge as it is here.

I just can't understand. I wonder if it's the same concept as how Nike shoes here are way more overpriced. From what i've been taught, Australian consumers are more willing ot pay for some things than say US consumers.

Dj equipment retailers must be having an absolute ball here. We need more competition really. I'm pretty sure it's just lack of competition, and lack of awareness of many DJs here.

urgh, sorry. Mixed StoreDj (Mixer) up with Cannon Sound and Lighting (where i got the cdj)

Anyways, thanks for all the helpful responses and iv already got my email here to say item has been dispatched Got ableton running with my mixer and everythings going sweet

there's a lot more to it than shipping. Shipping is actually a very small cost in the overall retail price. taxes, lead times, stock holdings for a smaller market, lower purchasing power for the smaller order quantities, write-off on those items that never sell which will be higher than in a larger market like the US.

yup.

i bought some, don't really miss the vynal mode, much prefer the cueing automatic and the pitch control is spot on, well worth the money by far....

ok well im gonna wanna go CDJ's soon but at the moment i have some cheap numark TT1625's that i bought in one of those starter kits. i guess you can say i got used to the vinyl feel. will the transition between TTs and CDJs be that hard??

IMO Cdjs are easier to mix with then Turntables. But if i had my way id have both CDs and TTs.

....i need a job.

defo not i had these decks, still got them lying about. i added numark axis9s to my setup then sold them and got cdj 200! only use cdj mode now. once u get used to the way cdj mode works ul be fine. its defo easier than vinyl. no spinning back to re find ur cue point. pure bliss!
