I would personally go with new gear as it will have warranties and such ( I did, its my gear that British was talking about) also when getting stuff from overseas you need to consider things like shipping costs/risk and import duties, the reason they are cheaper in the US is because to get any of them here is Aus you need to pay a tax to get them past customs and etc. so before getting things from overseas just check out the cost of these kind of things, also power compatibility is another issues with getting electronic goods from other countries.

yeah. would def say buy local.. we explored the overseas option.. but your lookin at an extra 60-100ish bucks per item in shipping.. an then there is the warranty.. an id expect that the 250 is that you save will be of little solitude if your cdj's get totaled..

wait for the dj warehouse store to open. and on opening day go in and say
i have this much money and have been recommended these.. what can you do for me.. if they say more then you have.. dont immediately give up.. say umm. i dunno, i really want them. what is the best you can do.
or something along those lines.. haggle like theres no tomorrow
also ask if they have an opening day sale and take some cash in for a deposit if nothing else... cash talks, bullshit walks. (put ya money where your mouth is, basically)

I'd be careful with cdjs on ebay. maybe it's just me, but it seems like there are more scams than usual with those.

I have exactly the same set up. It's awesome.

I got a hell of a deal on the 200's though. I bought them a year ago on E-bay in mint condition for $500 US for a pair with shipping.
