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

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

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