How to buy a used DJ controller

Check the software licence before the hardware. This is the trap that costs the most money and it has no equivalent on other gear. A controller's rekordbox or Serato unlock is tied to the hardware, not the seller's account, so it should come with the unit, but some models only unlock the entry tier and need a paid upgrade before they do what you expect. Ask the seller which software the unit unlocks and at what level, and price that in. A cheap controller that needs a licence upgrade is not cheap.

Faders and the crossfader are the wear items. They are the parts that get used thousands of times a night, so ask for confirmation that every channel fader travels smoothly with no crackle or dead spot, and that the crossfader cuts cleanly at both ends. Worn faders are replaceable on most models and the part is not expensive, but it is a job, and a seller who has not noticed the problem may not have noticed others.

Jog wheels, jacks and the sound card. Confirm the jogs respond evenly across the platter with no dead zones, and that touch sensitivity works if the model has it. Then check the outputs: most controllers have a built-in sound card, and a channel that passes no audio usually means a board fault rather than a cable. Test video showing all four channels is worth more than any description.

What a bundle is actually worth. Listings often include a flight case or a laptop stand, and those genuinely add value, but they also inflate the asking price above what the controller alone is worth. Our table shows the cheapest genuine unit so you can see what you are paying for the extras.

If you are buying decks you probably already own a crate worth something. We track what records actually sell for in the vinyl value guide, which is usually a shorter list than collectors expect.

Cheapest by model, at a glance

A daily snapshot of the lowest genuine eBay price for every model we track, and how good that price is right now versus its usual level, updated automatically. Prices last refreshed 12 October 2026. Tap a price to see that model's cheapest listings on eBay, or tap a model name for the full live list here.

These are second hand prices, listed by sellers as used or pre-owned, taken from live eBay US listings in US dollars. In collectible categories a sealed or unworn item is sometimes the cheapest genuine listing, and it is included. The same number works both ways: it is what a buyer pays today and the resale value a seller can realistically ask. Every model also carries a price history, the daily record kept since tracking began, which is the part to read before you buy or resell. On a day when a model has no listing that passes these filters, its row keeps the last price we recorded rather than inventing one, and drops off this table if that goes on for more than a few days.

Under each model is the actual listing that price came from, so you can see whether it is the thing you want or a bundle, a variant, or an accessory that happens to share the name.

Over the period we have tracked, this category is down 2.0%, while the used market as a whole is down 0.3%. See the Used Price Index, which is built from these prices and published as a free CSV.
