the pickit is new and in working condition, i bought it a few years ago on ebay. At this moment i have pickit 5. Of course that is much better device and working very fast without any short freezing sometimes. But for begginers who trying to get knowledge in microcontrollers that is good chalenge for them, and cost no so expensive. pickit 5 cost on origin microchip web site £57 and i suggest for pickit 3 just £13 only. The connection red wires between pickit 3 and yours pc is very soft and flexible.
