Amazon doesn't carry that inventory of used books, they only act as a middle man. The used books are still mostly carried by used book stores. As the latter disappear, so shall the offerings of used books on Amazon (and AbeBooks) disappear, as well. It's definitely good to be able to shop at all participating used book stores when your local ones disappear, but the online used book inventory is still disappearing as fast as the used book stores are.
