This is very good in voltron EDH decks where protecting your equipment from destruction is very important. If they destroy any artifact you can just make a goat end of turn, untap, sac the goat and get it back. Paying 1 life and 2 mana across 2 turns to return an artifact card from your graveyard to your hand is a VERY good deal, not only that but it is also a great sac outlet should someone try to tuck or exile your creatures or artifacts. It's like a plainswalker they can't attack into and you can activate at instant speed, it just needs a bit of building around and some spare mana every turn, but it's really powerful. It's kind of like a sword of light and shadow for artifacts. I'm not going to go into specific card synergies because it works really well with A LOT of cards.
4.5/5 for casual/edh
3/5 for competitive formats (artifacts are really easy to hate out nowadays)

Making a goat and returning an artifact combo is probably its best use, but there are a lot of artifacts that want to be sacrificed. Ichor Wellspring for example. The discard a card option can be handy for things like reanimator or madness.

I'm making it my mission to be the only person in my town that owns copies of this card, so I always trade others copies to me when I have the opportunity. The reasons for this is that: A) having a monopoly on Trading Posts seems delightfully ironic to me, and B) it makes frickin' GOATS!

This + Colossus of Sardia + Shallow Grave
1) Use this to discard Colossus and gain 4 life at end of opponent's turn
2) During your turn, cast Shallow Grave targeting Colossus and swing for 9 trample damage.
3) Sacrifice Colossus to this, to put Colossus back in your hand.
4) Repeat as often as able.
a) Find a better way to discard Colossus, like Lotleth Troll.

Haggle, sell an old book: Get 4 granola bars.
Haggle, give the trader a granola bar: Buy a goat.
Haggle, slaughter a goat: Root through the trash to find some scrap metal.
Haggle, recycle some rusted metal: Get a book.
Makes sense to me!
