SLAVES

Slavery, especially of various Genasi, was very common in Esau until 1402AG - when it was out-lawed in Malnax, and many other places followed suit.
Slavery is still common in the Underdark of Ru'Mal and Ru'Than - mostly practiced by drow, duergar and fomorians.
About 1/5 such creatures own on average 5 slaves, while 1/50 own on average 50.
About 1/10 slaves are skilled, of whom 1/10 have tier 1 character-class equivalence.
Old slaves are rare: most are young or adult.
Adult slaves in good health are priced on the basis of 2 years earnings from their labour, and are expected to last 10 years in service.
A seller could be forced down to half the starting price through circumstance or hard bargaining. Prices are sometimes paid in trade goods or promises of goods such as shares in future harvests.
Unskilled: 40,000 =150 gp - (3d4*20) based on 2sp earnings/day
Skilled: 4,000 = 1500 gp - (3d4*200)based on 2gp earnings/day
Tier 1: 400 = 3000 gp - (3d4*400) based on 4gp earnings/day
Tier 2: 40 = 6000 gp - (3d4*800) based on 8gp earnings/day
Tier 3: 4 = 10,000 gp - priceless
Tier 4: 1 = 50,000 gp - priceless

1) slaves are priced based on anticipated profits from their labour
2) most slaves will remain in captivity for 5-10 years before dying or escaping
3) owning a slave comes with costs and risks that more than halve their earnings for the purpose of calculating anticipated profits (hence they're valued on less than half their expected lifetime earnings).
