The price of slaves varied by availability and qualifications. In an article written on February 1865, it stated that a healthy negro who was 36 years old, sold for $4,900 or $200 in confederate money. A 15 year old negro girl was $400 less. Black mechanics went for $2,000 confederate or $80 in money.
