Wow, what a "community", where people shit all over other people's sales threads - really, what terrible manners. You neglect to include the rather pivotal fact that the eBay item to which you refer, is an AUCTION and not "buy it now", and has over 3 days to go. If you search for "Microchip ICD 2" within eBay UK, you will find *clones* for sale from Hong Kong, for £35. Unlikely, then, that the genuine ICD 2 is gonna sell for your estimate of £15. Seriously, if you wanna poison someone's sales thread, you ought to find something better to do. I personally couldn't care if these sell or not, but it is a great price, and I am in no way going to justify this to some random bods online.
As to the question of whether the PK3 was faulty, it turned out it wasn't, but Microchip agreed to send a gratis PK2 anyhow for all the inconvenience (passes you a stepladder, so that you can climb down from the moral high ground).
If these item(s) WERE faulty, I do have the common decency so as to have mentioned it, if it were relevant (it isn't). Would anyone else care to comment, or deliberately cause a shit storm in my thread, to ease their consciences and make themselves feel better? Would you care to remind me of the point where a private sales transaction suddenly becomes the business of anyone hanging about with nothing better to do?
@ziq8tsi - whether I received it free or not, do you seriously think I am gonna GIVE it away? I don't owe any of you
anything. Honestly, just go away.
