Responsa for Bava Kamma 102:22
לעולם בחזקה ובעי למימר ליה לך חזק וקני וכיון שמסר לו דליו כמאן דאמ' ליה לך חזק וקני דמי:
or rather that since it is not deep, there is no [great quantity of] unhealthy air there?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And should therefore be subject to the law applicable to a pit of less than ten handbreadths deep. ');"><sup>15</sup></span>
Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A made an offer to buy manufactured articles from B at a certain price. B agreed to sell these at that price and delivered to A the key of the box in which the articles were placed. A now wants to withdraw his offer; may he still do so?
A. Accepting a key is not a formal act of possession, and A may, therefore, withdraw his offer. But, if after accepting the key of the box, A put the articles in the box and locked it, the sale is valid.
SOURCES: Pr. 835.
