Yup, I bought one from there following that thread.
It works fine programming from Mplab8.92, Pk3 standalone, Mplabx /Ipe and no problems in downloading the new firmware.
Have not yet tried it in Debugging mode and haven't opened it up as nothing to directly compare it against, as long as it programs it meets my needs.
( it actually has what appears to be Microchips logo on the case, unable to detect any difference from pictures of the Pk3 on Microchips site; could just be a copied logo, or do wonder if its off the same production line ??)
MC are doing a 50% off PK3 price .. in exchange for PK2 ( working or not ) etc https://www.microchip.com/pagehandler/en-us/promo/legacymigration/
Note , It is possible to get a Microstick DM240013 (includes a PIC24 28 pin ) to prog / debug other PIC family 18 / 16 it has PK3 'lite' onboard ... two Vdd 3.3 /5 versions.
Thank you vey much,
I´m trying to load the bootloader on my PIC, That´s the reason why I was looking for the cheapest one, because I only want to program the bootloader by ICSP and later program my PIC by USB.
Have you got any idea about how to do this with the PIC18F27J53 or similar?
I have never done this..

You have never said what you development toolchain was but if is MPAB or some other that works with the pk3 you can do ICD (In Circuit Debug).
Boot loaders are are great for updating firmware but not so much for program development.
Most people find that once they use ICD it is the only method they care to use.
Is the device is correct? ( you still need to select the correct device so the the correct AP can be loaded ).
Have you power to the device? ( pickit3 has t be configured ).
Does pickit3 support the device???
Hello, I have cheked all the connections.
Yes, PICKIT 3 support PIC18F27J53
I supply my circuit from the PICKIT 3 VDD (It´s set up a voltage level of 3.5V)
Try external 3.3v had this with PIC24 , but also target device should be recognized by PK3 , check connections ( picture of set up may help ) .also try clicking the refresh debug tool status on the dashboard side bar. may load FW and AP .
edit , there is also a memorys to program setting in the PK3 config......
