i'm usually the one taking the serious topic of the day frivolously, so tonight i think i'll be the one taking the frivolous topic seriously. (Surprise!) My master does inform me i am priceless, not just in the romantic sense (thank you, sir) but also in a technical sense, as he has promised me i will never be sold again, so i no longer have a price. But i have had a price in the past, in fact several prices: Every time i have changed hands i have been sold for a considerable sum of money. i have been the merchandise in a total of five transactions, including two in which i was technically free and therefore both the seller and the thing sold. Those are my only two sale prices that i know down to the dollar. (Where did the money go from the two times i sold myself, since after being sold i had no control over any assets? The first paid off all my student loans from college, the second is in a protected trust fund. None of the other sale proceeds went to me. i know some will think that's odd, but it doesn't seem odd to me: If you sell a horse, does the horse get to keep the money?) i have never been told my other selling prices with any exactitude, though i know the general price ranges in which i've been sold, and my master assures me my value has appreciated considerably over the years. i am very grateful to him for calling me priceless, and for so many other things, but now that i've turned thirty i can't help wondering how long my resale value as a used slave would have continued to climb; i sincerely hope i never have to find out! i'm sure such transactions are relatively rare, but since becoming part of CollarMe i've been in touch with a couple of other slaves who have each been sold in earnest, for money, at least once, and another who was once traded permanently for another slave, and various others have told me that money played at least some small part in their enslavement, for example a master paying off her debts or covering her relocation expenses, so i'm not the only one this has happened to; not to mention the booming business around the world in human trafficking for forced prostitution. My sales have differed from that slave trade in any number of ways, principally in that my enslavement has always been consensual, but there are some similarities too... And this concludes the non-frivolous portion of this evening's CollarMe programming, thanks for listening.
