Bricklink Seller Review - Parker Pieces

Is that Peter Parker?  No one really knows.  Maybe I'm buying stuff from Spiderman.  Now I'm wondering how many other super heroes I may have purchased stuff from.  Would Hulk only sell green?  Would Superman avoid trans-green or trans-neon green?  Would packages from Wolverine come pre-shredded?  Makes me wonder what REALLY happens to some of my orders...

Order Details
Why this store: Wanted list ping.
Packaging: Each batch in its own half size baggie, all wrapped into a bigger baggie, then in a bubble mailer.  Included a nice signed letter from Spiderman himself.
Part condition: Very good.  One or two teeth marks.
Communication: Very friendly
Feedback left: Positive
Odd telltale signs:
Issues: a few teethmarks on unimportant pieces.  I alerted the seller and he thanked me.

Recommendation:
Parker is heavy on the help and communication.  His service is top notch even if shipping prices are a bit ambiguous.  I found it to be a bit high but I suppose that's how it goes on smaller orders, eh?  The selection is light unless you need some basic colors.  But he was also in the middle of a huge upload as I purchased.  He even looked through his yet to be added pieces to see if he had any of my requests.  I would recommend to keep your eye on this store as he has the potential to become a future powerhouse.
