Anyone have a web cam they want to sell? Is there a way to make an iSight work?

Sorry, I realize there's a FS section, but I would like a few more eyeballs on this.

Do any of you have a webcam you would be interested in selling? I know you're probably thinking I should just go buy one, but the prices are crazy right now. Eg, the Logitech c920 MSRP is $80. But on Amazon I've seen prices well over $300. With so many people trying to work and do school from home, webcams are sold out all over the place. I actually bought one off Amazon (third party), but it is now past its arrival date and not here.

I have a job interview lined up, but I need a web cam for it.

I do have an old iSight. Would a FW800 to 400 adapter work with that? Maybe it'll be easier to find such an adapter than a camera. It's only 640 x 480 though, and I'd prefer a bit better quality for interviews.

take the interview on an iPhone/iPad in case you don't find a better solution.

also, is there an App that would allow to connect a smart phone and use it as a web cam with a computer?

I was thinking the exact same thing, space-time.

I do not have an iSight camera to try, but yeah, if you can find a cable in the back of the drawer, try it!

I'll have to play with that. I want to be in a good setup, might need to share my screen.

What App? Zoom? skype? Google hangouts/meeting?

[space-time]

with Zoom you can connect with both phone and computer, use the phone for Video, computer to share screen.

You really have no excuse!

Make sure your lighting is nice and even. Best of luck.

You can get a Wyze cam and flash the firmware to make it into a webcam. I'm not sure what Amazon's lead times are. I've been getting everything in 3-4 days, even though it says April 20.
