But now I hardly ever go in. And if I do, it's to try to sell. The stores near me all seem to have more stock than they can handle. Charity shops are reluctant to take books.

Has the ebook killed the second-hand paper book market? Or is it something else? Or is this just my perception, and the second-hand paper book market is fine?
No - it was the internet. You can get used copies of just about any book and at a low price, so why go to a store?
