What was the cost of a slave in 1700 in beads?
I'm researching for a school project on the slave trade, and I need to know approximately how much a European buyer would pay an African slave trader (in trade beads preferably, or guns) to buy a child for the transatlantic slave trade and resale in Jamaica.
If you don't know the price in beads, though, the price in dollars would be great too.
Thanks. 
The African leaders were apparently paid in more substantial European goods than beads.
Carolina planters developed a vision of the "ideal" slave – tall, healthy, male, between the ages of 14 and 18, "free of blemishes," and as dark as possible. For these ideal slaves Carolina planters in the eighteenth century paid, on average, between �100 and �200 sterling – in today's money that is between $11,630 and $23,200!
