I just bought this from an online shop the other day, and since it's non-returnable, I can only resell it. It's brand new, and I only opened the packaging to take photos. I also purchased two 8mm and two 10mm replacement sticks specifically for it, but they're not compatible with other models, so I'll include them as a bonus. A similar set on Amazon would cost over 15,000 yen, so I think this is a great deal.
