You don't "look" for private buyers. They will find you =)
All you have to do is shout :

WTS several stacks of "_______", cheaper than AH!

Then they (whoever contacts you) will most likely ask you "How many do you have?"
Ask them how many do they need/willing to buy (don't tell them that you have 500 stacks for example)
When they find that you have many/regular farmer, they will ask you to add them to the contacts list/they add you.
How the trades go (CoD or weekly f2f trades) is up to you and the buyer to decide.

Another way to find players who buy in bulk, is by posting auctions and check out everyday who's buying most of your stacks.
If the same player regularly buys the same items everyday, that means that they need a lot, and often.

After the "Finding private buyers" part is done, all you'll have to do is offer them a good deal so they come again =)

Tip: Some buyers will ask you how you farm that much. Try to hide the fact that you're a bot. Make up stories and use your imagination!

Just WTS like said before and when they ask you how much you have say "as much as you need" and person buying in serious bulk automatically knows your a bot and theres a private buyer my account has buyers for everything but volatiles. sell them on ah.

If they ask, you can always say that you have several people in your home that actually enjoy farming so they go out and collect the (fill in what you are selling). They pop it in your GB and it's your job to liquidate it so that they can buy all the toys that they want.

It's actually not far from the truth... with the exception that those people are digital in nature and you are the one that gets the nice digital toys.
