Well they didn't usually. People taken for the slave trade were from unorganized tribal villages on the African coast, easy pickings for slave traders. The people were simply forcibly abducted, then taken to market overseas to be sold. Although, now I'm wondering why after a couple of years of this the people just didn't move inland!

Did Africans sell each other into slavery?
Yes, during the historical period when Europeans were going to Africa to obtain slaves, Africans did sell other AFricans into slavery. Generally speaking, the prevailing morality of the time was that only members of your own tribe or ethnic group are real people or have human rights; members of other tribes or ethnicities are the equivalent of wild animals, toward whom you have no moral obligations. They are just another resource to be exploited at will. Many people still feel that way. Just observe how the Hutus and Tutsis have been treating each other in recent years, for example.
What was slavery like in Africa before Europeans were involved?

Apparently, excess population was sold. After Europeans became involved, slavery wrecked society.
