Need opinion on this mixer fast!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...&category=14986

I'm taking the advice I was given and I'm going to buy a mixer(second hand one because of small budget) so I can use it with Traktor and slowly increase my beat matching skills and stuff. Is this a good mixer? I really need an opinion fast, as I want to start DJing with real stuff ASAP.

Looks like a real POS. But should be really cheap. A lot of people like the Beringer VMX-300 but that is like 100 bucks. If you really need something cheap then go for it I guess, but the general words of wisdom seem to be buy better stuff at first.

Ok, I'll take your advice. What would be a good mixer to buy?

A good one to start off is either the VMX300 or the DJX700. Both by Behringer. They have great customer support and I haven't had a problem with my DJX700 yet, I've had it for 4 months and use it every single day. They're both in the 150-200 dollar price range, pretty cheap for a decent mixer.

Ok. I've had my eye on Behringer because of good feedback and low prices. I'll look for the VMX at DJ Mart.

the whole heating up thing is not totally true, i think it depends on each unit. i use mine about 2-3 hrs a day (sometimes longer), and i've had it for 6 months, i've never had any such problem. most people complain about the onboard effects and how they aren't good which is true. but hey, you shouldn't really be buying a mixer just for its effects. other than the crappy effects, this mixer is a great buy, go for it.
