You can try our BB0703 or BB0703+.  http://www.auelectronics.com/System-PICkit2.htm

Comparing with the popular BB0703, the BB0703+ has a buck/boost regulator circuit which secures +5V power supply for programming at any normal USB voltage (4.1V to 5.5V) input. 

Also One of the BB0703+ Family member "BB0703+256K" naturally support 256K of EEPROM for PTG feature.

There are also a 2-in-1 mini-Lab and a 3-in-1 mini-lab released recently. Feel free to check it out: 
http://www.auelectronics.com/Hardware-MiniLab.htm

Some unique features on the mini-Labs are listed as: 
1. Dual bidirectional I2C/SMBus voltage-level translator
2. Three On-board voltage supplies: 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, 100 mA Max.
3. mini-Lab test circuits: 6-LEDs, 3 pull-up, 2 pull-down, 1 capacitor (support on-chip regulator for PIC24 and dsPIC33) for 
debugging/testing

other features are listed as:
1. Jump wire technology guarantee no worry about pin-compatibility 
for future PIC chips. 
2. ZIF technology Support both SOIC-SMD and DIP/PDIP through-hole components.
3. 10uf cap included on Vdd
4. Connectors are compatible with Microchip ICD2/ICD3/RealICE/PICki2, and Au Group Electronics BB0703/BB0703+
5. Can program Flash-based PIC Microcontroller, KEELOQ HCS, MCP250xx and EEPROMs

Subject: [PIC] Recommendations

I bought a pic burner almost a year ago on ebay.. seemed nice but required
a second piece that I never bought so no real work done. Willing to consider
the $40 loss and seeking new recommendations.

What do you all recommend now as a pic burner?

My requests are low... all I plan to do is write code, burn to PIC and
interface serially.
