I got two vintage Pilot pens from Mercari in November. Stoked to have them in my collection. They're both fairly firm writers, even the gold nib.

Vintage Pilots | William Killerud

This month I tried shopping the second-hand market in Japan for the first time, through Mercari via Buyee. The experience was great. All told, it took about two weeks from purchase to the products arrived.

Pilot Myu on the left, Pilot Custom K-500SS in the center, and Pilot Metro for comparison. #FountainPens
@wk That's a shame about the Custom, mine has a really nice bounce to it. Great pens though. I've never tried a Myu but I've only ever heard wonderful things about them. Enjoy!
