question for the dj's in the house.
I'm looking for two (2) Pioneer CDJ-1000 digital turntables. The suggested retail on these is $1299 each, but I found them for $970 each (shipping not included). I have no idea what a good price is for these as they are for a friend. Where do you get your gear?

I shop at various places like Pro Sound and Stage Lighting http://www.pssl.com and The DJ Store http://www.djstore.com
As for price I'm not real sure if that is a good deal or not. I only spin vinyl so I don't really pay attention to the cd mixing stuff.

$970 is pretty good. I usually see it listed at $1100 each. www.audiolines.com has hooked me up in the past. Get them to give you a quote.
If money is an issue, Consider a pair of American DJ Pro Scratch 1's. They are smaller, cost only $350 and do everything that the 1000's do. The only thing a 1000 can do that the Pro Scratch can't do is a touch and go - i.e. when you press your hand on the jog wheel of a 1000, the cd stops - as if you've stopped the vinyl..... the Pro Scratch doesn't do that. But you can cue up with a pro scratch (i.e. spin it a lil' faster to match beats..) The jog wheel "acts" as the record and lets you adjust the pitch.... in ADDITION to the pitch control - plus you have pitch bend too....
