Hi,
I'm little new here to the TOR-Network and stuff...
But I'm interested in someone who can offer me:
- a pair of CDJ 900's or CDJ 2000's (PIONEER BRAND)
- a DJM 700 / DJM 800 (PIONEER BRAND)
for a reasonable (cheap) price.
Extra info: not a BC-account yet, live in the EU.
greetings M'

You likely won't find anything like that here listed, I've never seen it at least. Besides, these products are expensive and I would certainly want to use them before I spent good money buying them if you are going the used route. For instance in the states we have Craigslist and I have bought and sold a bunch of shit on here so it definitely serves a good purpose. Surely you guys have a popular local classifieds, I'd start there then work up to Ebay.
Personally, I'd scrap the 900 and 2000 and just go with the traditional cdj 1000's. You won't find (anywhere) a reasonably priced cdj 2000 as your talking about a 2K a piece item out the shop, and the 900's are just a slightly scaled down version of the 1000's which you can usually find used and priced around the 4-500 range.
I'd also go with the djm 600 instead of the 7 or 8 if you are looking to save on cost. I personally own one of these and was able to secure it a few years back for 350 bucks still in the box- of course it was stolen but you can find this in any city.
Are you just starting off spinning? If so, fuck the cdj's and go straight for the turntables. You should be able to get you some reasonably priced Tech 1200's for around 300-350 a piece and a 600 mixer all for about 700 bucks. I know we are in a digital revolution, but turntables are proven and you can find good, cheap vinyl (especially in the EU). I do indeed own serato, but there is nothing like the feel of vinyl and digging through a crate knowing what you are going to play next.
Good luck friend. Hopefully you find what you are looking for. Spinning is fun, and you can certainly get lost doing it.

Yeah fuck CDJs :D It's so much more satisfying to have shelves and shelves of lovely vinyl than a crappy little wallet full of CDRs.
I used to have some 1210's but got rid of them and bought some pdx2000 mk2's. Never liked pioneer mixers, I had one bundled with my first pair
of decks. Traded it in for a Vestax PCV-something.
Now got a beautiful Allen and Heath, it's got rotary faders which are amazing for mixing old house but take some getting used to after years of using linear faders..

Yeah Wowsers that A&H mixer is fucking dope, expensive as shit but very, very nice and worth the price. Get you some good old school Detroit or Chi town house and you can work wonders with a rotary dial. You ever seen Theo Parrish's custom mixer with the rotary knobs that look like they spin for days, lol. I've seen him do some shit on them things that is almost unfathomable.

What happened to DJ's, using good old fashion SL1200's. Their is no skill in DJ'ing anymore you just have to look at the old World DMC DJ championship videos on youtube to see how mixing should be.
