never used them myself, but if they're cheap they might be a good place to start - see if CDjing is somthing you want to progress with :)

I wanted one of those as well, but as far as I know they don't sell them anymore.

Oh man these hehe. I've never personally used the cdjs, but I don't hear too many good things about em. The mixer is my old one and I love that thing, but as for the cdjs....meh. if you want a suggestion try the gemini cdj 200s. I have them, about a yea old, and good. There's issues here and there about em but for the most part, they're great. Roughly $150 each. I'm not sure about your income but I was able to afford em flippin burgers hehe

Only a suggestion though. I don't have as much bills, but I do have em and I just saved until I had enough spare money to get em. Trust me, it was about 8 to 9 months when I started before I even came close to getting CDJs. Basically what I'm saying is how would you feel if you spent $120 on the CDJ-in-a-box only to see one or both CDJs break after a very short period of time? Unless you know someone who can fix em. When you're buying your first gear, you want to buy something sturdy, not always something cheap.
Here's a better alternative: Go on ebay, craigslist, or any other similar places and look for used equipment. If you're like me, you love things that are shinny and new, but if its used and is still in perfect condition, you know it'll last a long time. Plus, sometimes auctioneers will sell really HQ expensive gear for a small bit of money. I got my Stanton direct turntable from someone who just wanted to get rid of it for $10. Works wonderfully for scratching. So I'm just saying, you should find something sturdy first, cheap last. You'll obviously have to save for em, but when you get em, it just gives you more an incentive to be the best you can be as a DJ.
