LF: Serato SL1 or SL2

[JB]

just got a brand new laptop looking to upgrade from my ever growing and very heavy vinyl collection.


Will buy/trade depending on what your looking for.

Good luck, buddy..

I've been looking for SL1 used online for weeks now... Craigslist and such.

It's going for practically the same price as buying new..

FYI: there is no such thing as "SL2"

JB, I went to long and Mcquade and financed it..

20% down, and then you choose your term. The interest rates are like nothing, especially if you get automatic payments through your bank or credit card.

The deals I've found online weren't that great.. I'm happier with a warranty through a reputable source

ahh, financing. every djs dream
*looks at stuff*

anyone know what the going prices for SL1 or SL3 units are?

I may be able to get the SL1 for $500 - is that good?

[djb]

usually around $600 for SL1 and $800 for SL3, new.

I saw some craigstlist postings for $500-$600 for SL1.. used/stolen.

Financing without credit checks... every djs dream.

lol.

It's not like I just went out and bought $10 000 worth of studio gear, but I hear from my friend that works at L & M that if you have a good track record with a smaller financed purchase they'll give you WAY more credit next time.

lol. THAT is trouble.

yeah, pretty standard. that's what I paid prime for it
bonus - resale value never really decreases

also, get a universal ac adapter (+/- $10) so you don't need to have the interface plugged in to the laptop to spin regular vinyl. also helps performance since the interface doesn't have to rely on bus power

*edit: $699 for SL1 at L&M? pass.. get it used

someone on craigslist is asking $400 for just the SL1 box & some control records, dece deal considering a usb cable & rcas can't possibly run you more than $30
