<DIV><FONT size=2>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?</FONT></DIV>
