Is there anyone selling any forms of CDJ Players? I would like to buy some off people who are willing to sell any. Really would come in handy for live streams and mixes. Also any mixers as well?

He's right, controllers are the way forward now.
always am, i invented controllers and layered decks, and told the world how to re-engineer tracks so 16bit are mixable with 24bit bass lines
you can even mix with a shittie pioneer, but its mainly down to not having a internal soundcard of rubbish proportions or a full hardware mixer, made for ozone preset's which don't know what sub bass is
the ddj-rx is still aload of shit compared to the badboy of the VMS4.1
if you pick up a RX for cheap on ebay, you need traktor and my mapping
mapping links are in the video description, rekordbox is terrible and sounds terrible

Nothing will ever beat having a pair of technics and the feeling of receiving your latest delivery of vinyl just in time for the weekend.

your obviously a dumb ass who pay attention to reviews and american's with shit hiphip doing the same routine on every controller with no actual mixing, and then you never owned a VMS4.1, which all other controllers to this day have to live upto with full hardware mixer and built in soundcard and full 24bit ASIO going into the hardware mixer
all the software is doing is playing a audio file, then you have probably never used windows for controllers, and a seperate PCI USB hub which can give you the 1ms latency as windows only has 1 port to cycle through on that PCI hub instead of the motherboard's I/O plate which can end up giving you 16ms latency if all ports are in use
turn up 31hz on your soundcard and press the headphones against the ear, and they are all as good as paris hilton, its all ain't listening to you in a club, you can't even EQ

you need 1 of these plugged into your motherboard, max of 2ms if both on each hub is being used and you have overclocked the polling rate to 1000hz

unless you scratch, nobody uses the crossfader, you create your own curves with the volume fader/s or gain knobs
the DDJ-RX is a piece of cheap tat and only worth the £500 you can get them on ebay for, which should be the retail price when they were released, they are generally aload of bollox with jogwheels that cost £500
RX ASIO can't even do 48,000hz for all your modern hardware you spent £4000 on, and just sounds like shit in general

I'd think it would be easier if you checked on ebay or amazon for something local to you. But ofcourse you can still ask for advice on what kind of hardware to get first

better to get a RX then a SB, you have rekordbox support with the RX if you ever feel like playing at an event and have todo one of those middleclass warmup set's using rekordbox first, because the event will probably have some XDJ's using rekordbox

As someone who has tried and owned every type of setup Vinyl, Controller's & CDJ's I can say in my experience. Controllers are awful buy them if you want to be disappointed. I've had 4 of them and every one is bad. You will spend more time trying to get them to work correctly & diagnosing silly issues than using them. I hate how Pioneer DJ, Denon and the reviewers are all like this is all you need they work just as well as the club setup. THEY DON'T. It's just marketing rubbish to get more of peoples money. So when they get their controller and feel disappointed they then go and buy a full CDJ style setup after, or the next controller that they promise will be better and more like the CDJ style setup. It never is. The hardware in most cases is built well but the overall experience is bad. Vinyl I loved unfortunately I kept knocking the stylus and destroying the records, (Very bad vision is the reason.) As for the best setup it has to be CDJ's & a DJM. I love my Nexus 2 setup and would never consider changing it for anything. If you just want something that works buy CDJ's. Don't bother with the SC5000 Prime. I noticed the price has dropped quite a bit since the launch. Yet Pioneer DJ can put the Nexus 2 Price up and still sell them. Denon's engine Prime software is no where near as good as rekordbox. I personally care about build quality, having the CD slot & performance & stability. Not fancier buttons.
In summery
Controllers - Waste of money
Vinyl - Very Good if you can use it and afford it and enjoy the feel.
Pioneer CDJ's - Best.
Denon anything - Rubbish (Unless you are a mobile DJ in which case the Prime 4 or the MCX8000)
These are my experiences.
Now back to the question I would never part with my CDj's & DJM so no not selling. I would recommend you buy new if you can. it's worth it.
You are one smart a**!!!!! Thanks man!!!!!
more of a shit talker
brisk using and fixes the beatsync non stop using slider, as do most people, or jog wheel nudge

if you want to be technical, then controllers use the same tempo/pitch hardware encoder's as XDJ's while in rekordbox, it has the EQ/crossfader from the XDJ mixer hardware firmware if the controller is'nt standalone
most of the knobs and buttons use the same hardware chips
