And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour" Leviticus 25:44-46

If it wasn't, don't you think the Bible would have said something about it? It WAS a pretty common practice back then, and I'd think the Bible would say it was wrong if God really didn't approve of it.
No.

You can't sell things that aren't your PROPERTY.
