BM 28b#2

The point of the first part in the Second משנה on 28b is:

• What the finder does with the object

• When the person may sell the object:

• What are his options

• What is his his responsibility

The point of the Second part in the Second משנה on 28b is:

• What the finder does with the object

• When the person may sell the object:

• What are his options

• What is his his responsibility

A person does not sell the lost abject, rather looks after it if:

• It covers it's expenses

• Regardless of the cost to look after

• If the owner might claim it

• Until it is claimed

The reason a person sells an animal that doesn't cover it's cost is because:

• When the owner pays for the upkeep, he ends up with nothing.

• The owner might not pay , causing him to be out of pocket

• The פסוק writes והשבותו לו, (you should see (the best way) to return it to him)

• It is easier for the finder to sell it and return the money

According to רבי טרפון, when selling the found object

• One may use the money received for the sale

• One is responsible for the money he got for the sale

• One may not use the money received for the sale

• One is not responsible for the money he got for the sale

According to רבי עקיבא, when selling the found object

• One may use the money received for the sale

• One is responsible for the money he got for the sale

• One may not use the money received for the sale
