Should I buy now, hold out or what?

Sorry if this goes against the sticky... but yes, I'm new to djing. In fact, I don't have anything to dj with at the moment and I'm looking for a good starting set.

I'm trying to decide whether I want Pioneer cdj 100's, 200's, or 1000's.

Here's the deals I found on ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ssPageName=WDVW

2 Pioneer cdj 1000's for only $1,025

THIS PACKAGE INCLUDES:

2 XXX PIONEER CDJ-200 CD/MP3 PLAYERS

1 XXX PIONEER DJM-707 PRO MIXER

1 XXX ROAD READY USA FLIGHT COFFIN/CASE

ALL CABLES INCLUDED

seems like a fairly nice deal for only $1,000.

2 Pioneer cdj 100's for only $500.

So which would you reccommend on? Or should I even go with ebay? Should I buy new?

Heh, I can tell already I'll get flamed, but I welcome some legitimate responses

Go with the 1000s if you have the money! I'd also recommed you to check out the 800s
Cheers

Hmm, they look nice enough... but

$26...

makes me suspicious...

though there are other ones going for about 500+ too

Here is a great piece that comes to us from a forfeited pawn and is a perfect way to pickup some top dj equipment at a great price. This is a Pioneer CDJ-800 Digital CD Player. The unit is in very good condition with the exception of one missing knob (Vinyl Speed Adjustment) and everything appears to be working properly.

nowwwwwwww I see why!

well it says no reserve.. highest bidder wins. and remember most crap doesn't happen until that last 10 mins of an auction.
