Used GoPros in the US typically sell for $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 the US
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.
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.

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 $336 a buyer pays is the $336 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 US?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
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.
