Used GoPros in Canada typically sell for C$115 to C$470 (about $81 to $335). Action cameras depreciate fast, and the battery and lens cover are the two things that decide whether one is worth buying.

Selling a GoPro in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Record a clip and check for softness or flare from lens scratches
- Charge each battery and time real recording
Getting it ready
- Note the exact model and generation, which is printed on the body or shown in the settings menu.
- Charge the battery, time a real recording session, and check the housing seals if you are including one.

Model and generation: “GoPro HERO11 Black with 3 Batteries and Mounts”. Generation is the whole search. Accessory bundles genuinely raise the price, so list the mounts and spare batteries in the title if there is room.
Small and easy to post. Include the mounts in the parcel and photograph everything before sealing, since accessory disputes are the common complaint here.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$472 a buyer pays is the C$472 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a GoPro in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Is the lens cover scratched?
Photograph it. On most models it unscrews and replaces cheaply, which is worth telling the buyer rather than leaving them to assume the worst.
What should I check on a used action camera?
The lens cover and the battery. A scratched cover softens every shot, and batteries degrade quickly with heavy use.
Do the mounts add value?
Yes. Mounts and housings are bought separately and bundling them makes a listing considerably more attractive.
