£200:
If you're not entirely certain you want to be a DJ, 200 smackers will get you a set of belt drive decks and a simple two channel mixer and that should give you a taste.
There's even some all in one 'packages' available but as a general rule it's always better to buy separates.

£400:
This should get you a decent set of direct drive decks (not Tech's though), a mixer and a pair of quality 'phones.
The mixer won't be top quality but it will have the standard features that you need to get started.
£800:
It's Technics time!
You'll probably have enough change left over for a basic mixer and headphones - eventually you'll want a better mixer but if you're getting started, it's mixing the tunes that you need to perfect and a basic mixer won't hold you back.Ìý
£1500:
For this price you can buy one of the ultimate DJ set ups - you could get a decent mid price 4 channel mixer, pro CD recorder, headphones and Technics (or Vestax if you like) - plus you'll have "new car syndrome" which is when you suddenly have loads of new mates, due to your recent purchase.
