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.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £250 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £212 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £162 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £112 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £62 | Not 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
- Record a clip and check for softness or flare from lens scratches
- Charge each battery and time real recording
- 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.
