jspot, id say basic price for new is like 750-800
500 sounds sketchy

but do NOT pay more than 900, or even 800
you can definitely find better prices.

ok, since you asked if you really NEED the Technics, I say NO.
It really depends on your plans. If you checked out one of my mixes you probably noticed that they are very precise with no dodgy transitions...I am using one Technics and one SONY PS-T33, which is about 15 years old and only has a little .5 inch turning knob for adjusting the pitch
You can go with cheaper turntables, but once you get to spin at a club there will be technics, and it was REALLY hard to get used to this, even though I had one at home. It's just not the same as using two. But if you just wanna play around, you can get pretty good with cheap-ass decks.

Im pickinh up a set of Tech 12 MK3's in Vancouver and there about $799 each. It worth the extra money.
