A slave market or a slave auction.
At slave auctions, enslaved individuals were bought and sold as property to the highest bidder. They were often displayed, examined, and subjected to dehumanizing treatment before being sold to the new owner. These auctions were a harrowing and traumatic experience for those being bought and sold.
Yes, slaves were sold at vendue houses in the Bahamas during the period of enslavement. These auctions were organized by slave owners or traders to sell enslaved individuals to the highest bidder. The vendue houses served as public auction sites for the buying and selling of enslaved people.
When slaves were brought ashore from slave ships, they were usually inspected, cleaned, and separated before being sold at auctions. The slaves were then auctioned off to the highest bidder, typically plantation owners or slave traders, who would then use them for labor in fields, mines, or households.
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.
Most slaves were transported to be sold via boat so they would be taken out of the cargo hold of the boat, walked, in chains, to holding areas and then brought out for auction. The auctioneer would put them on the auction block for all the buyers to see while pointing out their strong suits such as strength, child-bearing qualities, etc. The buyers would then bid on the slave and the highest bidder won. Slaves were viewed as pieces of property, something to be bought and sold, not human beings with emotions or lives of their own to live.

African slaves were bought mainly by Rich men who owned plantations. This was because they could make a profit as they grew more Sugar, Cotton, Tobacco and Rum with the extra pair of hands they had.
Slaves were SOLD by bids. If someone saw a slave they liked they would bid for it and the highest bidder would win. Think of EBAY only your right in front of the 'item' or in this case slave you would wish to buy. And they were sometimes very costly.
