מוֹתַר שְׁיָרֵי הַלִּשְׁכָּה מֶה הָיוּ עוֹשִׂין בָּהֶן, לוֹקְחִין בָּהֶן יֵינוֹת, שְׁמָנִים וּסְלָתוֹת, וְהַשָּׂכָר לַהֶקְדֵּשׁ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, אֵין מִשְׂתַּכְּרִין מִשֶּׁל הֶקְדֵּשׁ וְלֹא מִשֶּׁל עֲנִיִּים:

The surplus of the left-overs of the lishkah [i.e., what is left over after the city needs have been satisfied] — What is done with it? Wine, oil, and meal is bought for it [and sold to those who need them for meal-offerings], and the profit goes to hekdesh. These are the words of R. Yishmael. R. Akiva says: One does not trade in hekdesh, [(for "there is no poverty in the place of wealth"; such trade is demeaning to hekdesh)], nor with what is designated for the poor, [lest a poor man come and there be nothing (on hand) to give him. The halachah is in accordance with Abba Shaul.]

Tosefta Shekalim (Lieberman)

Administrators, who kept money for the poor, are not allowed to buy fruit for half the profit, because of the [danger of the] poor losing money [because of it], but they may buy from too low a market price and [resell] at a high market price. What is meant by ”summer” [קיץ] of the altar? One buys burnt offerings and ”summers” [מקיצין] the altar. If a man dedicates his property, and there are among them things fit for some congregational sacrifice, they are given to the craftsmen as wages, [These are] words of R. Akiba. Ben Azzai said to him: This is not the [proper] procedure! The worker who has done his work, whether for a 100 or for 200 [Zuz/Dinar], must not say: Give me this cow for a mine and this coat for 50 Zuz, for sacred things is not profaned by a job, but only by money.
