Choosing dj equipment usually comes down to three practical questions: how many channels or decks you need, which DJ software you plan to use, and how much risk you are comfortable taking on condition. In this group, the prices run from USD 250.00 to USD 719.99, with the lowest listed item 65% below the highest. That spread is not just about brand or format; it also reflects a mix of used, open-box, and for-parts condition.
Quick take
- Best fit for a 4-channel setup: AlphaTheta Controller DDJ-GRV6 4-Channel DJ for Rekordbox or Serato DJ Pro Works, because it is a tabletop controller with 4 channels and 4 decks.
- Best fit if you want the white DDJ-FLX4: Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 2-deck rekordbox and Serato DJ Controller - White, Limited E, because the title highlights the white limited-edition styling and 2-deck layout.
- Best fit among the lower-priced controller choices: Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 2-Ch DJ Controller Rekordbox / Serato DJ Lite PROAUDIOSTAR, because it is listed as open box and sits slightly below the other DDJ-FLX4 here.
- Best fit for parts or repair: Numark EM-460 Preamp Mixer w/ Kaoss Pad ac cord lights untested, because it is clearly described as for parts or not working and untested.

Concise product notes
AlphaTheta Controller DDJ-GRV6 4-Channel DJ for Rekordbox or Serato DJ Pro Works
This is the clear pick if you are shopping for a controller rather than a mixer project and want a 4-channel, 4-deck layout. The tabletop form factor, black color, 24 Bit (44.1 kHz) maximum sampling rate, and two line inputs all point toward a more expanded control surface than the 2-channel DDJ-FLX4 options here. It is also described as tested for full functionality and working, with light signs of previous use. The main limitation is the price: at USD 719.99, it is far above the other three items, so it makes the most sense if the 4-channel format is the deciding factor.
Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 2-deck rekordbox and Serato DJ Controller - White, Limited E
The white Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 is the one to focus on if the 2-deck DDJ-FLX4 layout is enough and the white limited-edition presentation matters to you. It lists 2 channels, 2 deck control, Auto Beat Loop, Beat FX software, and hot cues for rekordbox and Serato DJ Lite. The description also calls out Smart Fader and Smart CFX, plus a mixer section with gain, 3-band EQ, Color FX, channel fader, and crossfader. Its limitation is that it remains a used 2-channel controller, so it is not the choice here if you specifically need the 4-channel layout of the AlphaTheta DDJ-GRV6.
Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 2-Ch DJ Controller Rekordbox / Serato DJ Lite PROAUDIOSTAR
This DDJ-FLX4 is a strong match for shoppers comparing the two Pioneer-style 2-channel controller choices and leaning toward a black tabletop unit. It is listed as open box and includes PC/Mac compatibility, a 24 Bit (44.1 kHz) maximum sampling rate, 20-20000 Hz frequency response, and input/output ports including 3.5 mm TRS out, USB out, USB in, and 6.35 mm TRS/TS in. The title places it with Rekordbox / Serato DJ Lite, while the description highlights Smart Fader and Smart CFX. The tradeoff is that it is still a 2-channel controller, so it does not fill the same role as the 4-channel AlphaTheta option.
Numark EM-460 Preamp Mixer w/ Kaoss Pad ac cord lights untested
The Numark EM-460 is not competing directly with the controllers above for a ready controller setup. Its appeal is narrower: it is a DJ mixer with Kaoss Pad, AC cord, and lights mentioned in the title, and it has the lowest listed price in this group. That can make it interesting for someone intentionally looking at parts or repair gear. The limitation is substantial and should drive the decision: its condition is for parts or not working, the title says untested, and the description says it is missing a few knobs. It is best treated as a project item rather than a direct alternative to the DDJ controllers.
How to choose between these dj equipment options
Start with channel count. If you need 4 channels and 4 decks, the AlphaTheta DDJ-GRV6 is the only item here that clearly matches that direction. The price is the highest in the group, but the feature set is also the most expanded among these choices.
If 2 channels are enough, compare the two DDJ-FLX4 options more closely. The white Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 emphasizes a 2-deck rekordbox and Serato DJ controller setup with Smart Fader, Smart CFX, Beat FX, and a white limited-edition appearance. The black Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 from PROAUDIOSTAR is slightly lower in listed price and marked open box, with PC/Mac compatibility and a detailed port list. For many shoppers, the choice between those two will come down to color, condition wording, and whether the small price difference matters.
The Numark EM-460 sits in a separate lane. It is a mixer, not a DDJ-style software controller in the way the other items are presented. Because it is untested and for parts or not working, it belongs on the shortlist only if that condition matches your plan.
Final recommendation
For the most complete controller setup in this selection, choose the AlphaTheta Controller DDJ-GRV6 4-Channel DJ for Rekordbox or Serato DJ Pro Works at USD 719.99; the 4-channel and 4-deck attributes are the strongest reason. For a lower-priced 2-channel controller, the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 2-Ch DJ Controller Rekordbox / Serato DJ Lite PROAUDIOSTAR at USD 294.99 has the edge on listed price over the white DDJ-FLX4. Pick the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 2-deck rekordbox and Serato DJ Controller - White, Limited E if the white limited-edition version is the draw. Reserve the Numark EM-460 Preamp Mixer w/ Kaoss Pad ac cord lights untested for a parts-or-repair purchase.
