eBay Bargains

[scue]

I ordered a Stanton SK-SIX mixer off of ebay the other day ending at $10.50. When I got it, I wasn't too stoked, because, well it's an sk-six. I began noticing that the cut was shit so I looked under the panel and one of the line faders was switched with the crossfader.

Being a little more curious I took of the fader cover and it turned out to be a focus fader which generally cost $100 themselves.

Also included in the box were two shure styli and a bunch of beefy rca cables. I don't think this guy really knew what he was doing, but it was a steal for me.

WOW wicked deal. yah i bought a Numark PPD01 off of eBay like a few months back for only 100 bucks cdn. and it came with an extra crossfader and Monster Audio Cables. Wicked deal. I sold it for triple that amount.

With any luck you'll find sellers who just wanna unload their stuff. Some equipment can be snagged for decent coin. A tech12 TT the other day sold for $200, ;practically mint cond. Even with shipping, only $220 US.

Always read the descriptions.

i've been looking at pioneer dmj500's on ebay and i'm verrry tempted to start seriously bidding on some. the times i have bought stuff from ebay, it came from the states, and i wound up having to pay a ton of duty on it because the sender didn't label it a gift [which would have been nice, and saved me a lot of dough, but i guess doing it legal is more honest pfft..]

make sure the people you buy from have 100% positive feedback, and aren't some sketchy cash whores

i got none, i ordered my dad a 6000 dollar video camera for about 4000 bucks. and it came with everything in tact. no problems and came with even more of what the description said it came with.

I posted this somewhere else, but I ordered a TT-500 a few weeks ago and fedex ripped it off. But the seller (who had like 8000 feedback or something, super busy guy) spent hours getting the money back for me.. good guy

for the most part as long as you do your hw its pretty safe. by that i mean looking at feedback, reading item desriptions, and just communicating with your seller as well. all should give you a pretty good ideal whether or not the deal will turn out good or not. obviously nothing is for sure. i mean a seller with 2000 all positive feedback with great communication can just all of a sudden screw you over for the most part people are good.

A few tips,

1. Read the whole description before bidding.

2. It can get really addicting, so know your personal limit.

3. Its only a good deal, if you need/ want it for a reason.

4. Re-read tip 1.
