Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower 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This is outdated info IMO.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 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

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