Used GoPros in the UK typically sell for £60 to £250 (about $81 to $335). Action cameras are assumed to have had a hard life, so the two things that sell yours are a clean lens cover and an honest statement about water exposure.

Selling a GoPro in the UK
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.
Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels.
Two practical things shape a UK sale. Bank holidays and the run-up to Christmas slow collections right down, so build a few extra days in. And postage from mainland Britain to Northern Ireland, the Highlands and the islands carries surcharges that catch sellers out — quote for the buyer’s actual postcode rather than a flat rate.
Second-hand demand peaks in January, in the weeks before Christmas, and at the start of the academic year in September.
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.

Put in the description
- Exact model and generation
- Battery condition and tested recording time, plus how many batteries are included
- Lens cover condition, and whether it has been replaced
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 £250 a buyer pays is the £250 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 the UK?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.
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.
