Selling Shemittah produce — but not the usual way

Not by measure, by weight, or by count

RestrictiveOne may not sell
Just by the eyea handful, a heap
So it sells for less
Rambam: he shows he isn't the owner

Not even switched: figs by count, greens by weight

Figs were weighed, greens countedchanging the method is not enough

In bundles?

Beis ShammaiNo — not even in bundles→ not even bundles
Beis HillelWhat is normally bundled at home may be bundled in the market — leeks and star-of-Bethlehem→ what is bundled at home, bundled in the market
Leeks and netz hechalav
Sheviis 8:3

Selling Sheviis Produce

מְכִירַת פֵּרוֹת שְׁבִיעִית
אֵין מוֹכְרִין פֵּרוֹת שְׁבִיעִית,
לֹא בְמִדָּה,
וְלֹא בְמִשְׁקָל,
וְלֹא בְמִנְיָן,
וְלֹא תְאֵנִים בְּמִנְיָן,
וְלֹא יָרָק בְּמִשְׁקָל.
בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים,
אַף לֹא אֲגֻדּוֹת.
וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים,
אֶת שֶׁדַּרְכּוֹ לֶאֱגֹד בַּבַּיִת,
אוֹגְדִין אוֹתוֹ בַּשּׁוּק,
כְּגוֹן הַכְּרֵשִׁין וְנֵץ הֶחָלָב:
