My CDJ1000s(original ones, not MKII or 3) are still working perfectly.

Advice: Keep them in a coffin/case, and always try to use someone else's cdjs instead of yours

Mind telling us when you brought them?

I've got one from '02 and one from '03. The lights on the '02 model are a little more faded than the '03 model, but not very noticably so. Otherwise they are working great

I think it's all in how much you care for them.

If you bang them around, spill drinks on them, etc. then they won't last long.

If you take good care of them, you shouldn't have an issue.

I purchased these used in 05 for $1000 USD. The amazing thing about it is that I travel with these things ALL the time and still no issues, i keep them in my coffin at the house though so im sure that helps.

EDIT: The seller had been using them since they first came out.

I can't believe that people are impressed with the fact these things last for 3 or 4 years without fault - they should last for 10 years for the price we pay.

Personally I think Pioneeer should put faith in it's own product and extend the warranty to 5 years. For the price I think this is reasonable.

Where did you get them for 1000 USD?

Hearing this, i'm starting to feel all warm and fuzzy about my new techs.
Not only do I get to collect vinyl I get longevity.

I think that personally, the CDJ 1000 MK2s wont last you that long, considering in a few years laptop DJing will replace it. Right now, CDJs are replacing TTs, but say by 2011 or 2012..laptop DJing will replace CDJs. CDs are already becoming a dying format. I don't think they will last quite as long as vinyl did for DJing. DVD-R's made for audio will replace CDs for those who want that same feel. That's just my prediction...who knows. But I can't see them lasting past 2012. This is from a user/format standpoint, not longevity of the player. I already touched on that I think and other people.

They wont last you as long as most TTs, but will surely get about 5 or 6 years of use out of them. Oh and there is an MK3 out, sure the features aren't that different to call for an upgrade, but who knows if in a few years they will release something more geared towards laptop DJs, like a MIDI controller/CDJ hybrid. If you can get an MK2 on the cheap, like I am selling mine for (already sold pretty much), I'de go with it. If you have the money, i'de say go with either the CDJ 1000 MK3s if you feel CDJing will continue for years, or get something for less money.

I think you've missed the point somewhat. This is a discussion about the length of time a CDJ will last before fault occurs, rather than a discussion on equipment tends.

I know, I mentioned that in my post. I had already made a reply about that previously on here, so I thought I would give some other insight, in case someone was looking to get CDJ 1000 MK2s or MK3s right now.
