Buying used GoPro's?
Now that my Canon camera is on it's death bed I've been looking at inexpensive alternatives to replacing it. (SJ's, etc.) I took a look on Craig's list and there are a lot of used Go Pro's being sold. Most folks seem to be selling the 3's to buy the 4's and such.
Since I know very little about these cameras, (My sons both have the original Hero's, that I installed flat lenses on, and they work great.), I don't know if buying used is a safe bet or dicey? Ron. |

This is a good deal in the Member Items, I would steer clear of Craigslist used items due to all the suspect activity, but most all the guys on here I have dealt with are stand up and follow through on what they say. That's my .02, I am no videographer by any means, but I love my Hero 4 Silver, often replicated never duplicated. There is a reason they are the best and easy to accommodate. |

Right now I could get a brand new 3+ off Amazon for $270, or a 4 Silver at my local hardware store for $399. One of the deals I saw online was for a 3+ that included a spare battery and car charger for $279. I don't know much of anything about these cameras, but the two original Hero's that my sons have take great pictures and video, even underwater. I think a Hero 3+ would be more than I'd ever need. Wife got me excited when she said I should just buy a new camera and get all the stuff that comes with it, including a new camera warranty. Then she said that in her opinion, I don't need one at all until I take her to Hawaii again, which will be in about three years! |
