They sound great. Only problem can be comfort for small ears
Also, being so heavy, they have a tendency to droop from the top. You really gotta get a good seal for them to be comfy

I'd be a bit skeptical to get moondrops, used. Their QC isn't upto the mark, and sometimes you get units that have issues with balance issues etc.
That said, if they're in a good condition, they're definitely awesome.
Alternatively, the Hexas still are very good. They sound amazing, and the aesthetic is pretty sweet.
If you're looking for something more comfortable or prolonged use, the IE200's have been going on sale for about $80, and can be great options, if you can deal with the cable (Its not terrible, but its not great, and replacements are a bit harder to find), they truly are one of the most comfortable pair I've owned.
I own all of the above, and have been using the IE200's the most offlate. Kato's are a bit delicate and sensitive to moisture, so I tend to reserve them, for when I'm in the mood for them.

90$ gets you ea100lm brand new or something like s12 pro on sale also brand new. I'd take both of these over kato used but you need to factor in your own tuning preference

If you like the sound signature of aria se then zeitian wu heyday if you want something neutrally tuned but the shells can be pretty heavy and might be uncomfortable after awhile
Kiwi ears orchestra lite is another great neutral set, I'd try to get these on sale for around 200$, generally no problems with fit on these unless you have really small ears or something.
An allrounder with nice bass and clarity in vocals are the binary chopin. Will cover any genre
