GoPro Resale Value

A used GoPro typically sells for between £60 and £250, with most changing hands around £155. Action cameras depreciate fast, and the battery and lens cover are the two things that decide whether one is worth buying.

The short version

  • Typical range: £60 – £250
  • Biggest single factor: condition — see the table below
  • Category: Cameras & Photography
  • Cost to sell on WishThrift: nothing, at any price

What a used GoPro is worth by condition

Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for GoPros, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.

ConditionTypical priceWhat it means
New with Tags£250Unused, tags or seals intact
Like New£212Barely used, no visible wear
Good£162Light signs of use, complete and working
Fair£112Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part
For Parts£62Not working or incomplete, sold as seen

These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.

What raises the value of a GoPro

  • Recent generations still supported by the app
  • Batteries holding close to rated recording time
  • Undamaged lens cover with no scratches
  • Mounts, housings and spare batteries included

What lowers it

  • Scratched lens covers, which soften every shot
  • Degraded batteries with short recording time
  • Water damage from failed housing seals
  • Older generations no longer app-supported

How to work out what yours is worth

  1. Record a clip and check for softness or flare from lens scratches
  2. Charge each battery and time real recording
  3. Confirm the model still pairs with the current app

Once you have those three answers you can place your own GoPro on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions

What should I check on a used action camera?

The lens cover and the battery. A scratched cover softens every shot, and batteries degrade quickly with heavy use.

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.
