An old man I used to work with told me of an incident there back in the 80s. His daughter who was under the age of 12 was acting up, and he told her, as a threat that he was going to sell her if she kept it up. She kept acting up, so he tells a man there that he wanted to sell his daughter, and how much would he get, as shs was blonde and blue eyed. The man responded, and the little girl was terrified. The father said that he wanted to teach his daughter a lesson, and that he didn't really want to sell her. The "buyer" was furious, because he was serious. The father was befuddled, because he wasn't going to really sell his daughter, and an argument ensued.
