[Avodah] Shmittah

[Joseph C. Kaplan]

Zev Sero writes (in Areivim) about the heter mechirah: "And one test [as to whether it was a real sale] is how the sellers would react if at the end of the year the Arab showed up with a bank cheque for 71.5 billion shekel, drawn on the central bank of Saudi Arabia, and refused to sell the land back." While this sounds reasonable as a test, is there any source that says that this is a test to determine if a sale is real or a sham according to halacha?
