Used GoPros in Australia typically sell for A$115 to A$480 (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 Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.
Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Record a clip and check for softness or flare from lens scratches
- Confirm the model still pairs with the current app
Getting it ready
- Inspect the lens cover for scratches — it is replaceable on most models, which is worth saying.
- Charge the battery, time a real recording session, and check the housing seals if you are including one.

- 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.
Seasonal, peaking in late spring and summer and before Christmas. Recent generations sell within days; older models need honest pricing.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$479 a buyer pays is the A$479 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 Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Has it been used underwater?
Answer honestly. Water and salt exposure is the main long-term risk with action cameras and buyers ask specifically.
Can the lens cover be replaced?
On most models yes, and cheaply. It is worth doing before selling since it visibly improves footage.
Do the mounts add value?
Yes. Mounts and housings are bought separately and bundling them makes a listing considerably more attractive.
