does the sale include only what is locked away?
or
does the sale include everything everywhere - except crumbs?


does the sale go into effect before the burning of the chametz? (note- i think it must)

I have read that bedikat chametz is the name for the searching. And Biur chametz is the name for the burning. But if this is the case, then why do we say the bracha Biur during the search-bedikat chametz?

Have a good pesach

It includes whatever you sold. It's whatever you told the rabbi what you're going to sell. (Even if you sell the whole house, you cannot have the Goy's Chumetz lying around where you are, since you'll might come to eat it.)

Since Bdeka is the begining of the process and for the Tachles (end result) to burn it.
