On another thread, MaxHeadRoom78 mentioned one Ebay vendor selling PICkit2 programmers for $8 (Ebay item #201325676677) with free shipping. Looking at other Ebay listings, it appears that $8 is the going rate for these. Obviously clones, but I haven't heard about very many problems with them. Just wondering if anyone has ordered from this vendor, or can suggest another vendor that they've had good success with?
The reason why I ask is that I've posted a couple of PIC based projects, and a few people have asked me if I could send them preprogrammed PIC's. For obvious reasons, I would rather point them to a cheap (and reliable) programmer that they could get from Ebay, and do it themselves.
