A Free Barter Market for the Village
2nd Thursdays, Sept to April
4617 SE Milwaukie Avenue, Portland
No money allowed, only trades
Gather Your Goods
Raid the junk drawer, the closet corner, and under the bed.
Stage Up a Booth
Spread a bandanna, lay out your wares, and start haggling.
Barter & Bump Fists
Haggle, swap, and seal the deal. All trades are final.
Share Your Stories
Every treasure has a tale. Tell it well and it trades better.
How it usually happens. The Goblin Market sets up alongside Trackers Skills Night every second Thursday, September through April, and pops up at seasonal festivals like Tracktoberfest and Track-or-Treat. We trade forgotten treasures and enjoy lively accordion music. Whether you're brand new to Trackers or already part of our Village, this is the place to connect and discover the magic.
Scenes from the Market
🪙 Bits & Bobs
Bottle caps, shiny rocks, old keys, tiny scrolls. The stranger the treasure, the better the trade.
🎪 Stage Up a Booth
Spread a bandanna, lay out your wares, and haggle. Every trader runs their own stall.
🪗 Music & Stories
Accordion tunes, tall tales, and old friends you just met. The market is half trade, half village.

Let the Mischief Begin 🧦
Long ago, a Tracker met Sock-on-a-Stick and asked to join the Goblin Market. The goblin said, "No." So the Tracker went back to the Village and made their own. Now we keep building, trading, and imagining, hoping one day the goblin returns. Let's make this the epic Goblin Market that finally brings back Sock-on-a-Stick.
