about AUD$6000, including hardware and software, but not the music.

over 6-7 years that actually works out not too expensive a hobby really

Posted by Rippey64 on Dec-31-2008 14:34:

8-9k euro, it's include vinyls but not mp3's, laptop.

Posted by Excess on Jan-01-2009 00:05:

traktor scratch pro: $465
djm400/2xcdj800mk2's: $1300 (What a steal, they're pretty much brand new...)
aand some creative labs speakers with my friends best buy discount... $40

so nearly 1800 with no plans to invest much else in the near future other than new music which i dont really count as a DJing gear thing

Posted by wesleysnipez on Jan-05-2009 08:52:

I'd say around 10000 to 13000 bucks here that even include cds, records and mp3.

Although thinking about it, that's just equipment - you can add about �4000 on vinyl and over �1000 on mp3s

Bringing it to a cool �8000-9000 (about $12500 by our current shoddy exchange rate) in total.

Posted by nefardec on Jan-05-2009 18:40:

a lot, somewhere around 5-6k, but have recouped at least 50% of it by playing

Posted by TranceArmstrong on Jan-06-2009 09:18:

2 CDJ 200s for about $800
little Denon 2 channel mixer $200

A thousand bucks is a lot of cash for a high school senior who works part time; and both the mixer and CDJs have been nothing but reliable, even without a proper carrying case. Should I come across some money, my next purchase will be speakers so I can have my own house parties.

520 euros appr.

Posted by TranceOwnsLol on Jan-07-2009 08:31:

3665 USD approximately for my first

Posted by Joss Weatherby on Jan-08-2009 00:13:

Too much... but since a lot of it was from when I was younger I didn't foot the bill for a lot of the stuff!

Probably 5k for just DJ related stuff, but more (probably double) if you include PAs and tracking/studio gear.

Posted by on Jan-08-2009 06:14:

8-9000 I'd have to say... maybe not quite that much.. But definitely over 5K, and I don't even spin much anymore..
