Used GoPros in San Jose 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 San Jose
San Jose sits at the centre of Silicon Valley, where incomes are high and equipment gets replaced long before it stops working. Computer hardware, monitors and desk setups here are typically newer and better specified than the price would suggest anywhere else.
The valley is built for driving and collection is straightforward, with parking available almost everywhere outside the immediate downtown. Distances between the south and north ends of the valley are longer than they look on a map.
For computer hardware, ask its age and whether it was under load continuously. Ex-office and ex-datacentre equipment is often excellent value but has run far more hours than a home machine of the same year.
San Jose, in California, has around 970,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in San Jose
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.
