More likely it would be me sending it back if it doesn't work. Let me know if you are serious about this, and I will see if I can work something out. I would however need to guarantee I don't end up getting scammed(not saying it is), which I am sure would also be a priority for you.

No, I think I am just going to put it on fleabay as-is broken for parts whatever. Broken ones are going on there for $80-$150 for just the camera with no batteries or case.

So if someone wants to take it before I post it there and close this thread, I'll give it another day here.

Have you tried contacting the company anyways? Some tech companies are quite flexible, if they see a legitimate reason they might still fix it/send you a replacement. Worked with my fitbit, and it's possible that gopro would operate in similar fashion.

Yeah, FitBit is a lot better about that.
GoPro will offer a 10 or 20% discount on buying a new one from them, that is about it.
I'm not even sure if they will offer that since I bought it from Amazon and not them.

No it's not stolen. I bought it on Amazon and can show the invoice if someone is really worried about it.

I bought it March of 2015, so the warranty was up when it started mis-behaving. I didn't really think about trying to find a place to fix it around here. I'll look into it but I doubt it. I know there is places online that you can send it away to.

Maybe...

Like maybe a two way escrow:
1. You send the BTC to the escrow.
2. I send you the item.

3. [IF] -> You decide if you can fix it [THEN] -> authorize release of BTC to me [Transaction Complete]
[ELSEIF] -> You decide you can't fix so you want partial money back
[THEN] -> We agree to a price and the escrow sends money to each party accordingly [Transaction Complete]
[ELSE] -> You decide you can't fix and want to send it back
[THEN] -> You send it back and I inspect and tell escrow to release money back to you [Transaction Complete]

This sounds like it might potentially be a bad idea.
But is was fun programming the potential transaction. Grin

I'll leave this here for a little while longer, I might decide to just put it on ebay. Undecided

Broken camera only ones go for around $150 and I could sell the batteries separately.

I offer 0.18 BTC for it, including shipping to U.S.

I will send you the camera with one battery for that price?

The waterproof housing is about 0.065BTC
and the extra batteries and charger are 0.032BTC

So if you make it 0.27BTC I'll include those and the other things in the pictures.

I will update the OP to that price.

Sorry.. I'll pass. Thanks for the offer!

How do we know it is not stolen?

Yes,you will never know if it's stolen.Use your gut,maybe ? Op sounds genuine to me..

@OP : The camera comes with a year warranty right ? Have you tried visiting a service center ? That would give you an exact amount/idea on the repair cost and maybe they will fix it for free if at all it comes with the hardware warranty.Let me search if I've GoPro service centers around,I shall let you know.

I would like to purchase it for 0.25 with international shipping. That is if you have some kind of proof of purchase. How do we know it is not stolen?

A friend of mine might be interested. Would you be open to a deal where I try and get it fixed ? Without knowing about the problem its impossible to know if this is fixable and the right price.

Don't be afraid to make an offer, someone can most likely pull this thing apart and make sure all the connections are good and reapply the thermal past and they will have a great camera at a fraction of the cost of a new one.
