| Hi,
I am not very familiar with Bricklink. I need to buy a lot of minifigure parts
(For a project). It does not really matter which parts as long as there are a
lot of different ones to combine to a random minifigure.
What I would like (for example) is an inventory list of all minifigure torsos
so that I can search shops that sell a lot of them up to a specific target price
(lets say 0.5€).
Is it possible?

Hi,
Well, possible, yes. Easy or efficient, I fear not 
What you can do is add torsos to a Wanted List (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1
) and you can use the Buy page (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445
) to search for stores with many of them.
The problem is that there’s many many torsos. That means that:
1. It’s a long task to make the WL. Though you may be able to do it more quickly
with a tool like BrickStore.
2. There’s many rare torsos. Used only in one or two sets, a long time ago,
or even recently (a few months) but rare today. Again, BrickStore could help
you sift the expensive ones.
3. You’ll still have many torsos, and few stores will have many of them. For
instance, you may end up with 200 (or 1,000) torsos, and the most you’ll find
in a store is 20.
But that is speculation on my part: you may be lucky.

BrickStore looks promising. I will have a look at it. If I can generate a parsable
xml, csv or whatsoever I could also remove expensive ones myself if I get the
underlying data.
Thanks for the info with the tool
