Honestly I see it different. You bought a $200 night vision unit from a flea market. That's not a tool, that's a gamble. Real night vision gear that's worth a damn starts at way more than that and lasts more than a few trips outside. The fact the seller said no returns is sketchy but not surprising, those guys are all cash and carry for a reason. I mean, what did you expect from a dude set up near the swap meet with a pile of optics? The battery door cracking off tells me the housing was cheap plastic from the start. I'd be mad too, but the real lesson is that cheap surveillance stuff is usually made to fail fast. You didn't pick the worst vendor in Phoenix, you just picked the wrong price point.

Caught up on that same kind of show last month, six episodes and done. Long series just drag on and I forget half the plot by season three. Short ones feel like a movie you can actually finish.
