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.

I second this! (Also, side note... I've bought from Bric-N-Brac several times
- good store!)
I sell primarily used parts (hence the name), but only have limited amounts of
each part. Why? Because used bricks we buy are often scratched, chewed, marred
and faded by sunlight. So a majority of the bricks end up in a bin to be played
with by my grandsons. It's hard to find a bulk of unmarred used bricks and
other parts. We try to sell only the best, so that limits are supply.
