I heard a Gra story once in which someone who had the only lulav in town
allowed the Gra to use it on condition that the owner get the tzchut. 

The Gra agreed but later said that there is no such thing as giving away a
tzchut. How he agreed to the deal if it was worthless wasn't explained

 

Don't know about the lulav story ( I would welcome a source) but there are
two versions of the Gra and 'kiyum hamitzvah shelo al m'nas l'kabel pras,
one with an esrog in Pinos Habayis,and one with hadasim, in Hagaon.
