Where To Buy Gear?

Just wondering, when you all buy gear, do you typically buy it 2nd hand off ebay or craigslist or a forum, or do you buy it brand new, and if so what site have you found to be best.

I started out buying cheap, because I didn't know how far I'd wanna take my hobby. Of course I moved up to more expensive equipment after

eBay, zzounds, and musician's friend are pretty decent for me.

This. Everything I've bought since my original setup as been new.

Agiprodj.com for new stuff.

Great service and way cheaper than any of the websites already listed.

+1. I've bought a couple of things from them and plan to make any future purchases from them. Their customer support is amazing.

PSSL.com or sometimes ebay. Most of my gear like my sound system, was pulled out of my studio, and out of racks I used to tour with.

The flag under your name said you were from Australia so...
I got my first stuff from:
http://www.djwarehouse.com.au/

The shipping time was about 48 hours from Melbourne to Byron bay where I lived at the time so I was pretty impressed. They were helpful over the phone with advice and quick to respond to any questions I send via email. The first set of headphones I got from them were broken in shipping and getting a replacement was really easy. Now though I live in Brisbane so I shop at:
http://www.storedj.com.au/

That being said, I go into the store and don't order from them online, I like being able to look at and handle stuff before I buy it.

I've never bought from overseas when it comes to DJ gear and I've not bought 2nd hand stuff so I can't really offer anything there but I've had good experiences with the two places above.

Thus far I have bought all my gear new at Guitar Center or Sam Ash.

I'm curious, how many of you who buy their gear used on eBay, Craig's List, etc... have had a major problem with it within a short period of time (say, a couple months) after purchase?

i bought something from ebay and it broke a week later without touching it

I hate 2nd hand

Posted by Zak McKracken on Nov-29-2010 12:34:

i love second hand. buy cheap and sell for a little more. make it possible to try all the gear out there. i sold everything though.

there was a 15% off coupon for guitar center the other day. I got my mixer for $150 off, which is better than any other store could have done.

but, agiprodj is top notch.
