As the slave ship came in sight of land the slaves were prepared for yet another sale. Those who had not died and were not too feeble to move were cleaned and oiled to make them look strong and healthy. In some ports the planters and buyers came on board ship to make their choice of the best slaves. More often slaves were sold by public auction on the towns. The planters might pay the captains in local money or give them credit notes to collect the money in Europe. More often the slaves were exchanged for sugar and plantation produce. There was usually much argument over the amounts to be paid depending on what the price for sugar was or whether the demand for slaves was high.

What happened to slaves if they weren't sold?
Sooner or later, all slaves offered for sale in the major new world slave markets during the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries were sold. Unsaleable slaves, like those too old, sick, or in some way useless to a slave owner, were not offered for sale. They remained the responsibility of the current owner. None were killed because they were unsuitable for sale. This is a misapprehension. It should be noted that the great majority of African slaves during this four century period were imported into Brazil and the Caribbean. Very few were imported to North America. It should also be noted that many slave owners were people of color, especially in the Caribbean. People of partly African ancestry were the largest group of slave owners in Jamaica just prior to emancipation in 1832. Significant numbers of slave owners in Virginia were of at least partly African ancestry. And, of course, virtually all suppliers of slaves in Africa were African people from dominant tribes.
