After mixing for about a year with Traktor I'm thinking about buying a mixer and use it with Traktor or another prog (can I do that?), till I get my cd players. I'm looking for something simple to learn on: 2 ch, decent faders and eqs. Maybe a cheap Stanton or Numark around 100-150USD.
What should I get? Thanks!

dont go any where near stanton, there totally shit, especially on sound quality, and you'll only get a better one anyway. Prolly beter to save up a little more for a vestax, pioneer, denon or allen and heath.

I agree with Jago, better save up a bit more.
In Any case if you are looking for a decent mixer that fits your budget try the behringer vmx300. Although some people don't like it , i bought it three years ago and it still works fine pretty amazing for a prics tag of $150.
In the end once you have cash i recommend you move on to the vestax pcv which is a relaible mixer for starters.

lol, funny to see rhue whine about sound quality of stantons while recommending a behringer
But ya, he's prolly right, I started with a VMX300 and I'm still (1.5 years later) happy with it. The sound quality isn't that good, but it's ok for the bedroom DJ that starts.

Go Vestax.......
I had the choice to get a cheap mixer or a Vestax PCV when I first started, got the cheaper one and regretted it ever since.

For the most part, its quality. A HUGE number of people here own vestax mixers (especially the pcv 275, and 175) and i havnt heard any bad things, besides maybe that they can be a little cramped...but i never found this an issue.
