Wex offer £430 cash for the body, lenses and flash.
If sold on here I'd also throw in the 2 bags, remote, a spare cell for remote, 3 camera batteries total, and 2 nikon bettery chargers.

It's not easy to say publically that sometimes you you feel like a failure, so kudos for that.
Definitely worth exploring your reasons for doing it more deeply as its a bigger commitment later on in life both financially and personally.
E.g. You might think about the people in your life that mean the most to you, work, personal life etc. How much does them having or not having a degree feature into how important they are to you?
E.g. You could ask where you're going in your career and would some kind of development / education enable this.
Pursuing a degree might still be an important outcome for you. One of these maybe related to the fact that many employers are considering the future and how their industries and colleague skills will change in the face of AI...
In which case there's a few options.
Ask if your employer would consider sponsoring you directly (many templates online for writing to your employer)
You could also ask if they'd consider supporting you (time and money) for a degree apprenticeship where you study part time to grow appropriate skills for the organisation. They may already be contributing to the apprenticeship levy, but this is not a requirement for supporting apprentices.(https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-take-on-an-apprentice#using-the-apprenticeship-service)
Otherwise you could spread it out over time with someone like Open University. Or take a persoanl development loan if you want to jump in with two feet.

Apologies, I didn't mean to trivialise the work required to comply, this would deffo be an additional overhead but not impossible.
The benefit being that it would allow the forum to continue to exist in much the same format.
We've also seen a few people willing to step up amd help you with this, which we'd really love to do. It must all feel so overwhelming right now.
Re. CSAM,
I read that it is a requirement only for high risk sites, and I think it's reasonable to justify that this is not a high risk site.Re. Mods, agree.
We'd need things like an admin email address, defined volunteers, moderator best practice guidance.We'll also need to document things like complaints resolution process, appeals resolution process, details around age verification, SLAs for mod response, forum members terms of use etc etc etc.
Happy to start drafting some of this if it's an approach we want to explore, but feel like waiting until the Jan guidance seems sensible before making any firm plans.

It great to explore the offshoreing option, but realistically feels like we can't avoid the specified "significant number of UK users"
As such best bet feels to tackle it head-on: with a detailed risk assessment!
-
Also happy to help with some time and expertise.
I work in Risk/Business management in Financial services also with trustee experience (school governor - so covered things like child safeguarding etc)Happy to join the Legally DM group if I can be of use with risk assessment process, documenting controls and action plan etc.
