    DJing CDJ's and eBay

    I really want to buy some cdj1000s... but don't want to buy them new (too expensive for a uni student). I've been checking out ebay, and theres so many but SO cheap. Surely they're not legit? They have 100% feedback but only with like 11 transactions. How can I get myself some cheap cdjs? Where do I look?

    i've never bought that kind of thing off ebay, but your best bet is to check up on the sellers (as you already did) and maybe even send them an email asking more about the product. some of those sellers are wholesalers that come across equipment randomly and are just looking to get rid of them. in some cases you will even get warranties.

    as far as buying used cdj's off ebay.... umm i dunno about that. so many things could be wrong with the equipment so you're taking a big gamble. in this case i'd suggest checking locally first for anyone looking to sell their gear, at least that way you can get your fingers on them before you fork over the loot.

      DONT DO IT UNLESS they have a real world retail shop and accept paypal verified and or credit cards with protection. if they say ''western union'' email them and tell to fuck themselves in the ass with a rose bush branch... its all fraud and if sounds too good , then it is too good.

        Yes, be very careful. E-Bay is getting hacked like crazy (or at least they were). I would see people selling Xone 92's for $800-1000 (US) new. And these were all profiles with 100% positive feedback. They do appear to have this under control as of late but I would still be careful when buying such an expensive item on e-bay. My 2 cents.

          This isn't meant to racist, but it's all the dodgey arses in China. Basically they set up multiple accounts giving themself (and buddies) feedback and are gone. Ebay unfortunatley has no juristrictions in China however advises buyers not to purchase from these users.

          As others have pointed out above only buy from an actual ebay store that has been verified and has a paypal account.

            Pioneer products bought from ebay won't have warranties... and if they claim to be factory warranted, it's voided by default, Pioneer implicitly warns on its site that it does not honor eBay purchases... FYI

              Well, the products are shipped from "china". So it's safe to say its dodgy. BASTARDS!

                  ^^on a side note, I've done it...but wouldn't go through anything expensive like this, unless you escrow it or something that would protect you should it be a fraud. At the same time, anything "dirt cheap" is all in likely a scam.

                    Dont Do IT!!!!! Im serious specially if the seller will ask you to pay anything else but paypal, there is a lot of hacking related to ebay and is very dangerous. There is a famous MO for scams using ebay and it is with western union payments and they ask you to send it to romania or something like that... bottomline DONT LOOSE YOUR MONEY save up and buy from a reliable source...

                        Be very carefull. I bought some CDJs on Ebay and the guy skipped the country with my money. I was fortunite to hunt him down, his father turned out to be a University Professor. I called his father, told him about what happend, and I had my money back in a few days. I concider myself very lucky.

                        I did use paypal btw. After the other party removes the money from their account, there is not a whole lot Paypal can do.

                          ^^buyer protection through Paypal can help, but again the bottom line is if it's a fraud, it'll take a long time either way to either recover from it, or to get your money back ultimately.

                              I have bought CDJ's, mixer, headphone (which where from china) from ebay....you just have to be patient, and wait till you feel comfortable with the buyer you are buying from...i just did a lot of research...most of time they where major online retail store...so they might have a phone number you can call...just to ask generic questions like shipping questions..you can usually tell if they are dodgey or not with in the first few things said...and they usually have a store warrenty
