What is your budget again man? Can't remember... As a begginer we usually recomend CDJ400's, CDJ350's , or even CDJ200's if you really don't wanna spend much (200's are very very basic) but you seem like you want a full size platter (listed above ^ are all small platters) that price for those mark 2's is pretty good but it depends on the condition of them, it's usually the MK3's you get ripped off on also, check out the decks I just bought, CDJ850's, they are a heavy rival to the 1000's but are newer and better in my opinion
