Tips For Buying DJ Equipment Online

Buying DJ equipment online has never been easier but if you've never bought DJ equipment online and you've been hesitant then this article will explain how to avoid the pitfalls of buying online.

Just about every where you look online you can find someone selling equipment. There're so many it can be cumbersome on whom to trust, who has the best prices and if your payments will be secure.

The biggest advantage to buying DJ gear online is that your choices of brand and price multiply tenfold. Choosing DJ equipment couldn't be easier. Going to your local pro DJ shop only gives you a glimpse of what's available and they're generally more expensive. So how much money do you need to buy DJ equipment? There are two options.

Option #1: DJ Systems or DJ in a Box. You can expect to spend between $400 and $700. Read more about DJ systems.

Option #2: Buying individual DJ equipment components. You can expect to spend from $800 on up. See an example of the different DJ equipment you need to create your own DJ system.

I have been shopping online for some time now or some years now to be more accurate. I'm very prudent as to who I shop with.

By the way I don't shop with Ebay because I can't get past the point that someone is going to take me for my hard earned cash and then give me a hard time for returning it if I get it at all. But that's just me.

At any rate I put together this short guide to help you when buying DJ equipment online. Soon you will buy with confidence as I do.

Research, Research, Research:

I know this may be a bit much but over a period of time you will be spending a large amount of money and you need to know you're getting the best prices. I do generally research on the product itself.

I go to the manufacturer's home page and look up the specifications and features and latest products and company news. Then I do my price research.

Buying DJ equipment online has great advantages over buying DJ equipment at a bricks and mortar Music store. The biggest is price. But did you know prices can vary tremendously, up to 50% sometimes from online stores?

If you're a vendor then you are probably purchasing your DJ equipment wholesale. Since this article's not geared towards vendors I won't explore that option.

There is serious price competition among the online stores. But I find MusiciansFriend.com has the best prices and selection overall.

You obviously want to save money when buying DJ equipment online and I found out that MusciansFriend.com gives a 5% discount to ASCAP members. So you save about $20 if you buy through MusicansFriend.com.

They also have a special members only rewards card where you can save even more on your purchases.

Anyone can get a membership to ASCAP. To get your DJ equipment discount just go to ASCAP.com and sign up for a charter membership. They'll send you membership information in the mail along with your membership card.

When your buying DJ equipment online from MusiciansFriend.com they ask you if you're a member of a music organization. ASCAP is one of those organizations. Just enter in your ID number and save 5% instantly.

So across the board you should strongly consider buying DJ equipment online from MusiciansFriend.com. They are safe, have fast reliable shipping and can match or beat any price.

Researching and evaluating online stores comes down to basically these things.

- Is the store front easy to navigate?, Do they have a search tool to find the products you want for faster shopping?, Do they offer a wide variety of products in their market?, Do they have pictures? Do they offer a 30, 60 or 90 day refund policy?, How well are they established?, Do they offer discounts and special deals on their DJ equipment? Do they offer free shipping?

I could go on and on. But these are some of the things you should consider when buying through a merchant online.

Price Matching

- Can they match or beat any price you show them? Do they have a wide variety of DJ equipment? Do they sell refurbished DJ equipment? DO they have clearance or open box item you can get for cheap?

- How thorough is their privacy statement. Does it look like it was put together by a team of lawyers or Fred's friend? No offence Fred who ever you are.

Make sure that they don't sell, trade, barter or give away your personal information to third parties. You're personal information is protected by law.

Secure Orders When Buying DJ Equipment

- When you shop online is your credit card and personal information being encrypted at the highest encryption level. Make sure that you are on a secure web site. You can tell by looking in you browsers' window. It should have an ' S ' before the ' HTTP:// ' . So it should look like this ' SHTTP:// ' .

This means you're on a secure site and look for the pad lock icon in the lower right hand of you web browsers. (MACs upper left or lower right) It should be in the locked position. If it is in the unlocked position the site is not secure.

So, now that you know where to get the best prices when buying DJ equipment online, how to get additional savings from your ASCAP membership, and how to shop securely and safely purchase your DJ equipment the only thing left is take a stroll to MusiciansFriend.com and shop 'til you drop or at least until your mouse breaks.
