@Al_Azif I think it was a combination of "negotiation" and not having quite a tight enough leash on the butler. The slave trader said it wasn't enough, so it's probably less than the agreed but price, but he could fudge the numbers a bit, maybe take it out of his trashed henchmen's wages, and make it look like he got a better offer. If he had opened with offer to buy, he would have been laughed off and probably thrown out, and the situation would have devolved into roughly the same thing.
