Used action cameras in Canada typically sell for C$94 to C$375 (about $67 to $270). Non-flagship action cameras sell cheaply, so completeness of mounts and accessories often matters more than the camera.

Selling an action camera 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’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
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.
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm the app still exists and connects
- Record a test clip and check the footage
Sell your Action Camera in Canada
Listing is free and there is no commission and no buyer fee, so the price you agree is the price you keep. Most listings take about a minute to put up.
Getting it ready
- Charge every battery and note honestly how long each lasts recording, since this is the usual weak point.
- Check the lens or lens cover for scratches, and confirm the waterproof housing seal is intact if one is included.

- The lens cover close up, angled to show scratches
- The battery compartment, ports, and any dent, crack or worn seal
Put in the description
- Brand, model and generation
- How many batteries, their honest runtime, and what mounts and housings are included
Brand, model and what is included: “GoPro Hero 9 Black with 3 Batteries and Mounts”. The model generation is the search term and the accessory count is what lifts the price. Say how many batteries — it is the first question every time.
Small and easy to post. Send batteries fitted or declared according to your carrier’s rules, since lithium cells are restricted on some services.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$377 a buyer pays is the C$377 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 an action camera 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.
Does it come with the waterproof housing?
Say so and confirm the seal is intact. It decides whether the camera can be used for the activity most buyers want it for.
Are budget action cameras worth selling?
For small sums. Value often sits in the mounts and accessories rather than the camera itself.
Should I include the housing?
Yes. Waterproof housings are model-specific and are much of why someone buys an action camera.
