Bricklink Seller Review - Another Brick Closer

This may be one review that will be absolutely worthless to you.  At the time of writing, this seller has decided to mark all used parts down by a very high percentage.  By the time you read this and have a chance to check him out, the sale will well be over.  But at least you can read about the type of service he offers.

Profile
Seller: Another Brick Closer
Store: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=VMAJ
Feedback (at time of writing): 2172
Feedback Ratio: 99.9%
Location: USA, Pennsylvania
Prices: Well below 6 month average due to extreme markdowns.  Regular prices are definitely above 6 month average.  Even to the point that a few of the extreme discounts bring the price down to about the middle of the price guide.  Were the prices inflated just before the closeout?

My Order
Order Size: 39 lots, 180 pieces
Condition: 80% New
Shipping Charge: Stated as starting at $2.92 for first class.  This appears to be post office counter rates plus $0.85 for delivery confirmation.
Extra Fees: As above.
Other: When I received the package it had a Paypal label which includes delivery confirmation in the price.  This is one of those sly ways to say you don't charge fees yet still take in a packaging supplies fee.  Therefore I was charged an extra $1.14 over sellers shipping costs.
Final Cost per Part: $0.09 (still acceptable in light of the hidden fees)

Order Details
Why this store: Mentioned a 65% off used parts in the forum.  Found a whole lot of wanted list items plus a bunch of filler that I would have otherwise not bought.
Packaging: Bubble mailer, lots packed in baggies by color.  Smaller lots combined as appropriate.
Part condition:Very good
Communication: None that was needed
Feedback left: Positive.
Odd telltale signs: Oversized bubble mailer.  Maybe could have saved me an ounce on shipping with a more appropriate sized one?
Issues: None
Issue Communication?:
Issue Resolution?:

Recommendation
Prices are a bit high when not on markdown.  Seller also quotes post office counter rates for shipping but prints a Paypal shipping label thereby charging you a packaging fee without saying so.  Parts selection and customer service is good.  I probably won't be back unless there is another deep discount or the seller is the only one who has a large quantity of the parts that I need.  Still, I won't go out of my way to avoid them.  I am light with my least favorites list but I have a certain set of criteria that I filter a store through.  Need something?  Check here.
