  sorry I am going to disagree most of the searches turn up closed stores and stores with little inventory, so I will have to manually have to search through hundreds of stores to find one that specifically deals in used parts as I don't mess around with small orders.

Ok.
Not knowing exactly what you want except larger quantities of used brick, you
may well find it hard to narrow things down.

A large wanted list will always make finding everything much harder, but consider
these two examples.

1. I just searched for simple BLEY 1x2 brick (let's ignore that you might
prefer old light grey). If I want a minimum 0f 100 Used 1x2s I get 16 stores.
If I want 1000+ there are only 2 stores. This is all USA, but bear with me.
The cheaper of these is Brick-N-Brac. Looking at their inventory they are mostly
a Used shop. Out of 9000+ Lots the vast majority are used (only 67 New Lots).
Well I don't know this store and can't vouch for them, but they look
like a good Used candidate.

2. Use your Wanted List to find bricks. Again maybe not your example, but pretend
I want Used 1x2 BLEY Masonry Bricks this time. I have that on my Wanted List
as Used with a minimum of 50. There is only 1 store, Ace of Bricks, that has
50 or more of these as Used Lots.

If you extrapolate either case I don't see how you would not find what you
are looking for and especially once looking a bit also find some store in particular
that specialize in large quantities of Used parts.

Most stores I expect dealing with Used parts will not have large individual part
quantities. You are more likely to find variety in Used parts but less depth.

My 2 cents.
Good Luck with your searches. thankyou for your knowledge, not looking for specific parts, just used beat up parts as I use them in my machine shop for prototyping and am very hard on them, drill holes in, kragle them ect.
