Sell Your Action Camera in Canada

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.

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

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

• Confirm the app still exists and connects
• Record a test clip and check the footage

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.

Photograph

• The camera with all mounts and accessories laid out together
• The camera alone, front and back, screens visible
• The battery compartment, ports, and any dent, crack or worn seal

Put in the description

• Maximum video resolution and frame rate
• How many batteries, their honest runtime, and what mounts and housings are included
• Lens and screen condition, and whether the waterproof seal is sound

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.
