It was like a regular auction but instead of animals or antiques slaves were auctioned off to the highest bidder.
A slave market or a slave auction.
At a slave auction... White men would take black slaves and put them on a platform. Then, they would start the auction. This was just like a regular auction. The person who offered the most for the slave would get the slave. At these auctions, the slaves were often treated very poorly.
i'm guessing you mean a private treaty slave sale, I am also guessing you mean the sale of African slaves. The african slaves were sold by private treaty. This is quite rare but still happened. The most common slave sales were the scramble and auction. The sale was already arranged and a platation owner would state to the slave owner what he wanted and how much he would pay. He would often keep back the promised slaves and send the others to an auction or scramble. I hope this helps,
It depends on what sort of Slave Auction it was, the "grab and go" and the highest bidder auction, usually after the ships carrying slaves would dock the slaves were cleaned and inspected. The highest bidder auction was where the slave was put on a platform, inspected of and bid for the highest price (So whenever the last slave was sold is how long it was) the other "grab and go" was quick, more of a purchasing of a raffle ticket and then the buyers were able to run into a pen and fetch the slave of their choice.
Basically like a normal auction. A slave is sold at a reasonable beginning price then once people start bidding the price goes up until someone claims the slave and then he or she takes him or her home and either torments, rapes, mutilates, abuse or just work them until they can't work no more.

The auction block has been used for slavery it is when they (slave sellers) would take a few slaves at a time and let the men auction on these africans.
The most money ever spent at a slave auction was in Savannah, Georgia at the Race Course. The total amount of money bidded was $303,850 which is about $6,700,000 now.
