Used DJ controllers in Tempe typically sell for $110 to $540. DJ controllers sell on which software they are mapped to, so name the software and licence status — a controller without its licence is worth noticeably less.
Selling a DJ controller in Tempe
Tempe is dominated by one of the largest university campuses in the country, built around a butte and an artificial lake in the riverbed. It is dense by the standards of the region and overwhelmingly shaped by the student population.
The university is enormous relative to the city and clears student housing each May, which is overwhelmingly the dominant cycle. Bikes, desks and furniture move in real volume at that point.
The light rail runs through the city and campus and is genuinely useful for anything portable. Campus parking is difficult, so agree a meeting point off it for anything large.
Tempe, in Arizona, has around 182,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Phoenix, Tucson and Mesa are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Tempe
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.

Put in the description
- Which software it maps to natively, and whether a licence is included
- Condition of jog wheels, faders, crossfader and all buttons
Reasonably robust but the jog wheels and faders are vulnerable. Box it well and use the original packaging if you have it.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
