why does this need to be a sticky thread?

cos every one asks the same question! lol well id say dont get a cheap set! youll regret it later on! id say go for the obvious the stanton (silver) series, vestax or go for the 1200s! simple as that really probably the best decks out there! cheaper ones are much harder to beatmatch on and youll find yourself needing a better deck rather soon after buying your cheap decks!

and how much do u reckon that will set me back then?

check out sites like www.sapphires.co.uk

most places do a price match so just check out the cheapest price and then go to a store like the one above and ask whats the best deal they can do! i think they give free delivery too! but id say for the techs your looking at around �600! i think the stantons ae slightly cheaper but if you dont like DJing then your looking at getting most of your money back if you decided to sll a set of techs cause they are built like tanks!

i dont really fancy paying that much on a set of decks if i am a biginner. wot do i do if i think "mmmmmmmmmmmmm djing is now canny shit" well if it came to that i would be pretty shagged.

yeah but if you thought like that and had a set of techs then youd get your � no bother especially if they were pretty new! also check out ebay for decks as they got some rather good deals on techs going on usually! mostly for around �500 a set of 1200 go for

if its a set of techs that are 2nd hand id say they would prolly be fine cos they are solid but you would obviously need to check them out 1st though to make sure they are fine! dunno maybe luke could help you?!
