It’s all new to me, just thought about buying a pair today. Isn’t there anything from the 90s that is affordable? Obviously $15k is a bit much for your average enthusiast.

A new company makes a digital night vision device. The sionyx Aurora. It seems to work reasonably well, although they recently hiked the prices so it's no longer a $300 toy. That's probably the best budget option currently.

Sure, there are older goggles you could buy for cheaper. What are you intending to do with it?
Cheap crap is out there and you probably get what you pay for. Surplus items can be bought, but might be even worse than the cheap crap. Infrared is also an option, depending on your use. It can see through darkness but has different pros and cons.

Cheap crap is $1500? Ok this is obviously not feasible for this goat. Ok I’ll see myself out

I was wondering if they may be useful for hunting. This may be a pipe dream, but thermal goggles would be awesome.
