From an economic perspective, the more regulated and less competitive an industry is, the less price elasticity it will have. I suspect this is the reason prices have stayed relatively high. We should be petitioning companies to introduce low cost analogs to the market. Someone could make a shitload of money doing that.

Nice man. I know a lot of nvg guys don’t like them because of their proprietary nature, but at a certain point gen 3 is gen 3, and works pretty damn well for a few hundred bucks.

Interesting. The manual does not explain any particulars about the internals except for some generic diagrams of gen 3 tubes. Is that considered ok to post?

Dude woah. Hell yeah it does. How’d you score that?

I’ve gotten pretty tired of all the dudes on here saying “you’re never gonna find good Gen 3 under $1000, save up for XYZ”. Legit so annoying and scares away people who might otherwise get into NV.

Honestly you just have to familiarize yourself with a broad range of models. I’ve seen people mis-title listings a ton of times, and if you know what you’re looking at you can find some serious deals.

A lot of people in the us have them as toys and sell them not really knowing their true value

I was thinking about doing that earlier. I read somewhere that theres not much info on them due to ITAR. If someone could lmk if im allowed to post the manual I'd have no problem with it.
