As someone looking into DJ'ing as a hobby, the question dawned on me:

New or used?

What were your intentions when you bought your equipment, and how did that affect your decision?

(Seconday question) Has anyone bought from 1200s.com? Their prices seem too good to be true.

Apparently 1200s.com has fucked over a lot of people..

Try searching this forum for them..

2x1210 mk2s i got are secondhand, paid £400 for them and they are in mint condition. Just had to change the plugs cos they were fitted with some weird ones (tells me they are grey imported maybe?) gutted aswell since Ive recently spotted at the same place m3d's for £440! I wouldve bought em if I had the cash and then sold mine off for what bought em for.. mk2>mk3 for £40! needless to say they were sold a few days later.

My smx501 mixer I bought new (£230) since I didnt want a secondhand one..Amp (£150) and speakers (£70) were all new as was the laptop (£500)

not bad setup really for what I paid.

Pair of 1200's- used-
2 pairs pf prtofons- used
Vestax rotary- used
Third technics- used
Three sets of kill switches- all used

MOst of my studio is used equip- mainly because most of the stuff i like has long been discontinued

In fact, thinking about it, pretty much only the CDJ1000s I have just got have been new- and thats only because i got them abroad for cheaper.


If used is available, I will buy it over new no contest

Decks are used but about to upgrade to some brand spankers
Both mixers I've owned were both new
