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.

thermal is great for hunting and not at all related to image intensifiers for night vision
there are a number of good thermal scopes out there
