I used this for six months several years ago. At that time, I used it about 2 or 3 times a month. It was used normally, so the paint is thin in areas where the rope rubbed against it, and there are small scratches from contact with other gear, but there has been no impact. I think it cost around 30,000 yen when I bought it. It comes with a Rock Exotica carabiner (about 7,500 yen on a popular shopping site). Please consider this only if you understand the condition.
