Cdj

I wanted to purchase a CDJ so I can spin cd's for my house parties since I don't have enough vinyl... I was wondering if anyone knows where I can score some descent ones for cheap...
I looked on ebay but I could only find the CDJ-1 which looks like a piece of shit, but it may be good I don't know anything about it...and online all I found was a CDJ kit by ION for 219 but I've never heard of that manufacturer and not sure about the quality can any one shed some light?

I don't know what you mean by cheap... so i'll assume it's somewhere between $250 to $300 for each unit. Try a search on ebay for Pioneer CDJ-100S.

CDJ-100s don't have that vinyl emulation thing though ... I believe you can't do cueing or scratching or anything with them, that big cool looking wheel on front is just a jog wheel.

I'm in a similar situation but I'm going to save my coin until I can afford at least CDJ-800's or DNS-3000's, they are still a big rip off but prices coming down all the time now, won't be much longer hopefully

Pawn Shops. They are amazing things. Just be careful to test em out or make sure if you dont like em you can return em. Just explain that your a DJ and its an important thing or you wont purchase

Don't expect to "cheap" prices on the CDJ 800/1000/1000mk2, Denon s3000/s5000 or Numark CDX1. these are top-of-the-line CD players, and they don't come cheap.
