2,945. Pledging a Person's Actual Value
Hilchos Arachin Vacharamin 1:8
Regardless of whether one commits the valuation of a good-looking and healthy person or of an unattractive and sickly person, he must pay the set amount designated by the Torah based on age. This is so even if the person in question is covered with scabs, blind, missing a limb, or blemished in some other way.
Hilchos Arachin Vacharamin 1:9
A pledge for someone’s value is not like a valuation. If someone commits his own value, his fellow’s value or the value of a third party, he must pay the amount that person would bring if he were sold as a servant in the marketplace, be it one dinar or 1,000 dinars. This is true even of a newborn, a person of indeterminate gender (tumtum), an intersex person (androginus) and a non-Jew.
