The potter's field

Matthew 27:7 - So they decided to use the money to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners.

I wonder if the potter's field had been up for sale. How many acres was it? Was 30 pieces of silver a fair price for it?

Prior to this purchase, did they have a special place to bury foreigners? Were foreigners never shipped back home for burial?
