Yeah the CDJ-1000 is all nice and good, but the list price is $1299, and I doubt that anyone would be selling it under $1000 right now.
WAY too expensive ... for that money you could get two CDJ-100s and a mixer ...

Umm and btw. Timewarp the Gemini CDJ-1200 go for US$189 (which is about $300 Canadian) on hollywoodj.com so you might be getting ripped off.

If you're looking for a decent low-budget CD deck, get the Gemini CDJ-20 ... otherwise the Pioneer decks (100 and 500) are the ones to get.

Another thing, I hope you won't be playing burned (mp3) CDs in public ... pay for the music you're playing.

peace
