Where do you sell and buy during a Midnight Isles run?

[Aggressor]

I completed a set of islands (including the last) and I picked the options to go back to town and it ended my run. I found no merchants along the way but I got a ton of stuff I couldn't sell so I was curious where are merchants during a run? Also everything in my chests disappeared after a run so I assume the trinkets you get are supposed to be sold, but to whom (and where)?

The merchant is in the port. You put your loot in the chest and when you're back to the port after 5 islands, you can sell your stuff.

So by 5 islands you mean completing a screen of islands 5 times? Because after completing a fullscreens worth of islands, I just started another one right away (with no option in between to do anything else)

After the final island on a map, the game spawns you back at the docks, not in the middle of the sea. You can get off the boat and sell all your stuff.

Ah! So after the final Island I need to actually walk to the town off the ship. Thank you this wasnt originally clear to me

[MellowTigger]

Yes, thank you! It also was unclear to me. There needs to be better visual indicators that we can leave the boat. Better sunlight and happy days with seagulls flying around? I don't know, just something.

Besides the port merchant, after you've cleared island 25 and gotten your first forced reset(sorry, spoilers if you're not there yet), there will be a talking chest npc on your the ship in your next run, right next to the resting spot.
If you haven't really needed a rest on the ship yet, click the Campfire icon to be taken right to it, just be aware that there's corruption on rest at sea, but none when you rest at Allushinyrra, in case you need to rest after the voyage, or want to reset spells before setting out on the next leg of the adventure.

The chest is a tiny bit evil, as you'll see from it's pricing, but it'll buy your loot, handy in case you've been stripping the islands bare & your pack's a bit overloaded.

If the chest doesn't buy full price, then just dump your extra loot on the ship int he storage near the helmsman?

If you made it to the ship with the loot, there's no reason to sell for less than full price.
Just take it all and crawl slowly to the shop next time you're on the port.

By selling to the Greedy Chest it allows you to carry those items over for sale to the next party onwards. So there's some incentive there to sell that to it.
