What, exactly, am I selling? The keilim? Only the chometz in the keilim? Am I selling the food I own that is inherently non-chometz, but is not certified as Kosher L’Pesach?
Is it obligatory to cordon off into closed areas all the items sold or can they be lying around? All the Rov needed from me was my name and address.
And why the need to cleanup so hard and carefully? Anything you don’t find will either be batul or sold to the goy anyways. (Even if you find chometz in your house on Pesach, it isn’t yours.)
shmoel wrong, its the first sale that is no longer chal. The new one is mevatel any previous ones. Some people have shaychus to several rabbonim and feel bad not to use each one as the shaliach to sell their chometz. So make sure the Rav that you really want is the one you go to last..
Ken Zayn: If you’re just talking about the shlichus, then mistama ken zayn ;-). If the first rav already sold it, then what exactly are you empowering the second rav to sell?
