I know the consensus on this forum is that DJing is moving toward digital solutions but I'm more looking for info about the value of equipment.
I recently purchased a Midi Controller and I'm having a ton of fun but am not very good (I dont have much time to practice but love the hobby). I know that many view this as a step backwards but ultimately I want to move to a DVS setup as I've always been a fan of turntabalism.
From my rather limited perception of gear, Techincs 1200 seem to be about the only the way to go but theyre disappearing fast. I am wondering how you guys think they'll hold their value. Since theyre no longer in production, do you think they'll become more expensive in the relatively near future (like 6-12 months) or will they become dirt cheap since people are moving on?
Long Story Short I found a pair of SL-1200 M3D's plus a mixer (not sure on the model - probably not great) for $650. The ad says that they need new needles. Is this a good deal?
There's also another add for same tables but with a DM 1002 MKII, "good needles" and slipmats for 800. Is this a better deal?
If in 4 months when I'm ready for them and for some odd reason I decide I don't like them, would I be able to get about what I paid for them back?
