The thing to watch out for is that it's the PG164120, not DV164120 (confusing numbering scheme, or what? :-) 
which means it's just the PICkit2, without the demo-board, which makes it very much less useful.  I'm not sure 
what the US price of this is, but it doesn't look like a terribly good bargain to me.

This happens a lot, believe me!  I have friends in the USA and sometimes when this happens I ask the seller if 
they will send to a US address even though I'm not there - about a third of them won't, which rather suggests 
that they don't trust anyone from outside the US...
