According to the Rambam it is a davar seehyeish lo mattirim and AFIK would
never be battel until Passover has passed over

According to Rosh and others the Bittul would have to have AIUI:

   1. Pre-Pasover Possession by a Jew [definetely]
   2. Yedi'ah that there is a bittul
      1.  [almost a slam-dunk for Rema,
      2. a high probabilty for other ashkenazim. Yedi'a  makes a
      Hallos of bittul]
      3. this can  be shown by the sugya of "kam Kama batteil
   3. The question is why is there no Hozeir v'Nei'or during Passover?
   4. The Pri Megaddim in his Pesicha to Hilchos Melicha rules agasint
   any leachtichila bitul of hametz BEFORE Passover
      1. This COULD create a problme of purchasing already battel
      hametz depending upon your definitions of:
         1.  be'diavad [iow after purchase or after using it]
         2. Assur lemi shebiteil bishvillo [See YD 99]
