Definetly check out EBay...you can find some good deals on there on used equipment. I bought two techs on there...1 for $150 and 1 for $200, you just gotta look around for the good deals.

Nice! I will check around....pretty expensive stuff as I see it but I guess it takes work...I'll tell you what kind of mixer I got from ebay and what price I got it for once the auction ends!

Well I have checked out my budget and it is quiet low unfortunately. I can only spend 320$ USD on my turntables If someone could tell me the best models to go for, for these prices (if any) that would be great.

The best you're going to get for that is possibly two Stanton str8-80s although they're really not the best decks. The smartest thing to do IMO is to save up a bit more (probably around $400/$450 total) and get techs or at least the stanton str8-100s.

Here's an auction for a pair of str8-80s: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...3723648224&rd=1

you can get 2 numark tt-200s from audiolines for 160/each shipped.

their website says 200 but they will give them to you for 160/each.

well everyone is gonna tell you to buy a used pair of 1200's but thing is you dont really need the ebst decks to start off - ive been mixing for 2 years and i still didnt change my stanton str8-50's wich i payed 367$ tx included CAD ya ok its stanton its a belt drive but itll last much longer than any fuckin numark or USEd techs - 1200's might be the best on the market but if they r used chances are they might have been abused watch out its not worth paying that price to start off - you might not even like mixing - go buy yourself a pair of str-20 (thats what replaces the 50's now its the same thing) in montreal you can get them for 360$+tx - and your sure you want have any problems with them since they r brand new

Yeah but Belt Drive turntables are horrible to DJ with. And I would rather just get the Numarks......The used 1200's are amazing...I wouldn't attempt to put them down until you try them.

no no i wasnt putting them down they r the ebst on the market! well except vestax - but you said you were looking for cheap decks and u have a tight budget so wtv i thought i was helping you out - and numark doesnt even last 6 months before breaking down its fuckin crap - if its a mxier or a cd player or a turntable numark looks good but doesnt last its junk

bah in my opinion the best thing to do its to buy a technics!!! we dont care if they are used or not!!! its so easy to repair a technics!! , you can change everything on this kind of table,, when you ahve a technics!! you have it for life!

i had 2 gemini xl -500 II before and they suxx like hells!! always broken, the pitch is not stable, etc... i already used some stanton and bah...

damn stop freaking out people i neevr said stanton was the best i was suggesting it cuz they cost less and they dont break and she/he is on a tight budget - stanton cannot not be comapred to technics of course

jeremie - ya i also had a pair of xl-500 II damn that was crap lol
