NO. If a person were to theoretically self-enslave, e.g. they freely renounced all rights to self-control to work for a master in order to have the master provide him with accommodations and food, this would be a barter. However, this is not what happens in slavery. Slavery is the buying and selling of humans, so the transactors are the master-to-be and the slaver/slave market salesperson. The slave is the object of the transaction, not a party in the transaction. This is a typical currency transaction where the master-to-be pays the slaver for possession of the chattel property (the slave) and currency transactions are the opposite of barter.
