Böeseken rapporteur die koopprys as volg: “The price paid was Rds. 133 and one guilder which was equal to f400”. Enige leser sal dit vertolk as sou elke slaaf dus na alle waarskynlikheid twee honderd gulde gekos het. Maar volgens die document was die 400 gulde slegs die prys van één van die twee slawe. Die tweede slaaf is egter vir 80 Rds. verkoop wat die totale koopsom op 640f te staan gebring het. Die verskillende bedrae staan baie duidelik in die document geskryf!.
