I recently bought a Pilot Custom Heritage 92, having had my eye on this model for a while, and receiving lots of favourable opinions here on FPG (thanks chaps).

I bought mine from an eBay seller based in Japan, Pisuke2005 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/pisuke2005), and I'm happy to say from start to finish it was a pleasant experience:

:) Yoshiaki took only 1 day to answer my questions before purchase.

:) Two days after I paid for the pen, he PM'd a thank you message, also letting me know he would post the Pilot the next day, with tags removed as requested. I thought this a really nice touch.

:) The next day, he filled in the eBay tracking number, personally messaged me to say so, and provided the correct link to Japanpost to track it with.

:) When the pen arrived, the price tags had indeed been removed before shipping as requested. Not a deal breaker if he didn't, but I liked the fact that he took the time to accommodate me on this.

:) Packaging was excellent, there was no chance of transit damage.

I cannot remember the last time an eBay seller was this proactive in making an overseas purchase so easy, so I have to say, if you're looking for a Japanese import, do consider Pisuke2005, I've no hesitation in saying "top bloke".

Clicky thumbs:

Packaging - hard box, wrapped in bubble wrap, wrapped in newspaper, in a bubble envelope:

The pen itself, with price tags removed:

A thank you note with some Japanese tea (really nice touch, I felt).

An 'anything I can help you with' parting shot.

I remember the days when Taizo used to be like this. I hope pisuke will continue to remain this way.

Another thumbs up from me. My Custom Heritage 92 also came from Pisuke. The tea is a whimsical touch.

I purchased 2 Pilot Custom 74 pens from him, and the transaction was seamless, and they arrived much sooner than I had anticipated. All in all, an impressive experience, and one that I will repeat.

Don't know who that is, but Pisuke2005 is still on eBay! :hippie:

I too have bought from pisuke2005 with great success. YMMV, as always.
