I'm planning on buying this...need advice

Ok, here's what I'm probably buying: http://www.marsmusic.com/store/prod...kuId=sku1210011

Heres my reasons: I want to DJ at some small parties and DJ in my bedroom. I don't have much money and have been waiting to DJ for a long time. I would like to buy vinyl tt's but I don't want to buy anything less than technics and I don't have the $ for vinyl either. I would like the Pioneer CDjs as well but don't have enough money. I want to become serious about DJ'ing but I know that I can't for a couple of years because of not having a lot of money.

My real question here: I know these aren't the Pioneer stuff but will this give me a lot of trouble? Will these severely limit my DJing? What I mean is that will DJing/mixing with these be a pain in the ass.

I plan on having this for a year or so and then maybe if I have enough money, sell this and buy technics hopefully.

Thanks for your help

Hey Man.. well.. maybe my opinion wont help u that much cuz i really dont know about that equipment... but, i see that is a very high price ($600) ... i have bought 2 Technics 1200 (Used ones) for $300, and like 20 Records ($200), i Have a Cheap, old and borrowed Numark Mixer, well... maybe u could buy 2 Technics Used for like $300, then with 200 i think u could buy a Descent Mixer, and with $100 u could even buy a few Records... thats makes a total of $600 and u just will have to change the mixer in the future and not all the equipment, well... this is my point of View... maybe if that Package was cheapper i would think about it.. but i just see a high price comparating with all u could do with the same money... Ill buy this Equipment if I was Sure that i will USe only CDS... but if u wanna Djing with Vinyl.. Try to buy the right Equipment at once... could take more Money buying other stuffs before buy what u really want...

Thats all.. Just an Idea.. Hope more Opinions come here-
See ya

....Sorry about My Broklen English

I would save up for the technics and better gear. If ya cant save up fast enough then I suggest financing, most music shops do that stuff.

wow you serious about the financing part? what kind of stores are we talking about? like big mega corporations or just your local small record shop that are offering this?
