<P class=MsoNormal>Seems to me that not selling chametz gamur is a
straightforward and satisfying way of being mekayem “Tashbisu”. If it involves
hefsed meruba, than one should take advantage of mechira since you get
involved in avoidable baal tashchis which you may want to offset against the
mitzvah of Tashbisu. But if doesn’t involve hesfsed meruba, why not simply
“get rid of it”-Tashbisu? I don’t see it as being a judgment on the efficacy
of the mechira. It’s simply a clean, straightforward option to the fulfillment
of this mitzvah, as valid as the mechira option.<o:p></o:p></P>
