Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.
