To give you an idea of what you could get for your dosh, here are a few scenarios for you - but remember that shopping around for this kind of stuff can save you dough and can help you to increase your knowledge:

How to... Buy Deejay Kit
"Work hard, keep very focused, you've gotta be very patient, you've gotta get out there and meet people, put on your own nights if you have to."
DJ Skully
UK DMC Champion

£200:

If you're not entirely certain you want to be a DJ, 200 smackers will get you a set of belt drive decks and a simple two channel mixer and that should give you a taste.

There's even some all in one 'packages' available but as a general rule it's always better to buy separates.

Ìý
£400:

This should get you a decent set of direct drive decks (not Tech's though), a mixer and a pair of quality 'phones.

The mixer won't be top quality but it will have the standard features that you need to get started.

£800:

It's Technics time!

You'll probably have enough change left over for a basic mixer and headphones - eventually you'll want a better mixer but if you're getting started, it's mixing the tunes that you need to perfect and a basic mixer won't hold you back.Ìý

£1500:

For this price you can buy one of the ultimate DJ set ups - you could get a decent mid price 4 channel mixer, pro CD recorder, headphones and Technics (or Vestax if you like) - plus you'll have "new car syndrome" which is when you suddenly have loads of new mates, due to your recent purchase.
