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 Track-or-Treat and the Holiday Faire. 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.

Bottle caps, shiny rocks, old keys, tiny scrolls. The stranger the treasure, the better the trade.

Goblin Market Rules 📜

As dictated by the Goblin Council, who still await Sock-on-a-Stick's return.

All Trades Are Final

No take-backs. A fist bump seals the deal.

Trade What You Own

Not yours? Ask first. No "borrowing".

Respect the Market

Ask before touching. No cheating. Never, ever.

Keep It Weird

Wonderful and magical. Sock-on-a-Stick may appear.

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.
