DJ MIXERS
Vestax PMC05PRO III
$300 used or less
2 Channel mixer
Has aux sends for each channel, making adding effects easy.. I have this mixer and hook up my compressor this way
Solid design, I had mine since 2005 in a case, and never had a problem.
Classic hip hop mixer as well.
Vestax PMC-280 PRO
$300 used/ $500 new
4 channel mixer with effects
Has XLR outs, as well as 2 mic inputs
Its the current mixer I use, and is great for live gigs using NES's, or the DOS laptops.
Built really well, and the effects are pretty decent
I had a Pioneer DJM 600 before this one, and actually prefer the PMC280 over this in terms of price and value. Pioneers are very solid mixers, and gig workhorses but are more pricey. To get the Pioneer DJM mixer with awesome features, expect to pay $1000.
So yea wanna be a BALLER DJ9000?? (but still wanna pick up something used)
Pioneer DJM 800
$600-$800 USED
4 Channel mixer
On board effects

Budget banger mixers:
Numark X6

I had one of these mixers a long while back. You can make due.
