If slavery was legal today…
How much would it cost to buy another human being?
What type of price would we be looking at?
I have no idea but doubt i could afford one
Wtf. What shameful things to say.

Unless you're talking about BDSM "slaves", I shouldn't have to explain it to you.

I'd free them just so I could catch them again.
You know - like make a game out of it when I get bored.

I mean, they're implied as being included in the discussion, but I think this topic covers a much broader definition of slaves.
Which kind of slaves are you talking about that you'd like to own?

All kinds of people.
When you ask me that question, I imagine that part of the Michael Jackson "Black of White" video when all the people's faces change to all kinds of people.
I'm talking about which kind of slavery. BDSM, chattel slavery, indentured servitude, etc.?

As a common descent human being I would not do that.

Straight up chattel.

It'd be fun to breed them and stuff.
Slavery exists right here and right now in plain sight. There's an "Asian Massage" place nearby where the ladies who work there were taken to this country on promises of a new life. Now they are forced into prostitution with nowhere to go since they can't speak the language and are threatened constantly to stop them from fleeing. They shut one down in the next city over, but that one was in business for at least 15 years before they finally got around to it.
There's more varieties of slavery here than this, but we just call it "human trafficking" now.

You sound more like a Christian with every post.

Honesty is not trolling.
I have a wonderful imagination and I am expressing it on this thread.
Stop trying to curtail my fluorescent mind.

Evidently slavery is legal in some places still. It seems that slaves go pretty cheap, too....two Libyan men were sold fairly recently for about $400 each.
Now me, were someone to give me a slave I would look on the gift very much the way the 'white elephant' was looked upon in song and story; a gift meant to bankrupt. There the slave is. Were I to free him/her, what would happen to him/her? Just how well would THAT story end? Nope...first I would have to feed, clothe and house the slave, teach him/her about living in this culture, handle any legal problems that arise with him/her BEING here, make sure that s/he has the knowledge (education, folks) to make a living wage wherever s/he ended up, and then make certain that the paperwork that went along with freeing him/her was in proper order so that nobody could take his/her freedom away again. Please note that there's nothing in there about getting any work out of him/her
If you can buy a slave for $400, I still couldn't afford it....because buying a person in those circumstances means, frankly, adopting him/her to all intents and purposes. It would cost more money than I could ever get to afford a save.

How much do you think a pure blooded Nordic 18 year old girl would go for?

This is starting to get really interesting.
I might start a new thread on this.
In a legal, regulated, subsidized industry in which human beings can be sold as chattel, what would the price tags be on certain individuals depending on their specific characteristics.
It goes way beyond the sort of stuff that goes into buying a car or a house.

Depends on who's doing the selling. If she was put into slavery unwillingly...lousy investment. You'd lose it as soon as she ran away.
If SHE is selling herself, I hope she gets the earth and all its treasures.
