Commentary for Kiddushin 57:1
עד שימשוך ויחזיק משכו במנה ולא הספיק לפדותו עד שעמד במאתים נותן מאתים מאי טעמא (ויקרא כז, יט) ונתן הכסף וקם לו
until he performs meshikah or hazakah. If one [a common person] performs meshikah with it when it is worth a maneh,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' A hundred zuz.');"><sup>1</sup></span> but has no time to redeem it [pay the money] until it rises to two hundred [zuz,] he must pay two hundred.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This refers to an article sold by hekdesh. A common person has to perform meshikah, as for an ordinary secular article; nevertheless he gains no title if it advances in price before he pays.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
This illustrates the second half of the mishnah. The Temple acquires things when someone simply says they belong to the Temple. Ordinary people transfer objects by physically transferring them.

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The ordinary person described here is acquiring something from the Temple. He pulls it to himself, but has not yet given the money. Then the price goes up. He must pay the higher value. This would not be true if he were acquiring something from another person. In that case, once he pulled the item to himself, it would be his.
