[Avodah] Whose Bells?

[Rich, Joel]

Interesting- are tashmishei Kodesh forbidden to be sold? Is there a presumption that the original donors donated them al tnai they not be sold....?

Shulchan Aruch OH 153:2

Akiva
====================================
Yes, and see 153:7 when being sold by authorized authorities as in:
"When holy things are sold, or money is collected to buy them, or materials are collected to make them, the sale must be advertised (see 153:7) and the proceeds may be used only for purposes that are at least equally holy; but once the purpose of the collection has been achieved, any surplus may be used for other purposes (see 153:2-5), but must not be used for disrespectful purposes (see 153:9). [Holy things may also be sold for such purposes as supporting scholars or marrying off orphans (153:6,13).] These rules do not apply to property that belongs to an individual (see 153:10,12,14-20,22; 154:15), or that has not yet been used for holy purposes, or to a sale made with the agreement of the city's leaders (see 153:7-9)
