Ok so an update, we have decided go with a Controller for now and either sell it or keep it and buy CDJ's and a mixer later on. My question is, besides Ebay and Gumtree and the buy/sell forum on here, where would some other good sites be where i could pick up second hand Dj gear. Sites based in Australia would be better too for obvious reasons. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Im going to talk to my mate and see how we go, Im feeling 2x 2nd hand CDJ's and a mixer. Ill have to look more into the difference between the 400s and the 350s so ill get onto that. Ill keep the controllers in mind, the Pioneer XDJ AERO looks quite interesting, But if we get into playing at clubs its just not going to cut it. And id prefer to buy something that i wont need to upgrade for a while rather then getting a controller then realizing we need CDJ's and a mixer.

Hello from Australia! First post here go easy Ok so here is my story, Me and my best mate have been messing around on our mates DDJ-ERGO controller through Traktor Pro 2 for the past month and have realized we actually love mixing on it, been doing heaps of research and just all round spending hours upon hours on it. But unfortunately have to give it back as we were only borrowing it. So our dilemma is we need to buy gear, But we dont want to buy something we will get bored of in a few months.We need something that will last us a while/ even us semi professionally if we get good enough. We want to play music you would see at a dance festival like we love SHM, Steve Aoki, Avicii, Dimitri Vegas, Dirty South, and many more. So pretty much Dance/Trance/Electro/House abit of Dubstep in there too. We want to play House parties and of course Clubbing would be the big goal right now but one step at a time! Few questions. Should we buy second hand or brand new Controller or CDJ's and a mixer (Im thinking upgrade from a controller to CDJ's and a mixer personally) Any good recommendations for beginner set ups? Price range around $1,000-$1,200 MAX!! Would love to save as much as possible of course. Thanks guys.
