With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit 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.
