Chametz Sold Before Pesach Then Bought by Another Jew

From: Rabbi Moshe Sofer

To: Rabbi Yechezkel Segal

Description

A Jew sold his chametz to a non-Jew before Pesach at a reduced price, and after Pesach a second Jew preemptively purchased it from the non-Jew. The Chasam Sofer rules the chametz is fully permitted since the original sale was unconditional, but the second Jew must pay the first Jew the full appraised value.
