The world seems to be aligned against my starting up my camgirl career as a mid-30 male. Either markups are insane or, stock simply isn't available.

Can anyone recommend something quality? I was looking at Logitech C920 and similar.

Of course, but we need revealing images in all poses & from all angles in the intended setting in order for us to properly assess & be able to recommend the hardware for your video-conf requirements..

First of all, you'll need a laptop bag to carry said equipment around in. Secondly, you need a screwdriver set. Would wait a few days to see what the big retailers has on sale.

Depending on your budget, C920 is a good camera. If you need more quality you can try get a DSLR camera with a capture card, or even a GoPro with HDMI output and a Capture card. Only issue with the latter is that it gets very expensive. It all depends on your budget and what quality you are looking for, however the C920 does 1080P@30, which isn't too bad if its just for a random meeting here and there

Some of the DSLR brands now have software that allows you to use it as a webcam, don't even need a capture card if you have a compatible DSLR.. this I learned from @aleksandar if I recall..

That is also a thing these days, entirely forgot about it. Not the first thing that pops to mind when I think about cameras

I present to you, proof, that I have been a card carrying member since back in 2017 already, via Makro no less.

Even better, dear Laptop bags and screwdriver set bargains thread, I see your R129 set and raise you the same set I got above, for a solid 100 cents less than what I got it for, also from Makro:

Tork Craft 37-Piece Screwdriver Ratchet Bit set @ R99!

Anyone can comment on how well it works?

It's okey! You can feel the lag in the menu system and the lack of some proper horsepower.

Overall for standard HD video and once you are in the actual apps it performs perfectly fine. We have one in the Braai room and it's working well for it's intended purpose. Nice and slim behind the TV too.

Happy with mine.. my one gripe is that it can't be powered off a USB port from my TV, must use the included power plug.. that might just be cause my TV is 7 years old now and not supplying enough power, so may be fine with newer TVs..

Yeah might be the TV. Mine is powered through the USB port of the TV, nice as it also then switches the device off when we done outside.
