Commentaire sur Ma'aser Sheni 4:1
הַמּוֹלִיךְ פֵּרוֹת מַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי מִמְּקוֹם הַיֹּקֶר לִמְקוֹם הַזּוֹל, אוֹ מִמְּקוֹם הַזּוֹל לִמְקוֹם הַיֹּקֶר, פּוֹדֵהוּ כְשַׁעַר מְקוֹמוֹ. הַמֵּבִיא פֵרוֹת מִן הַגֹּרֶן לָעִיר, וְכַדֵּי יַיִן מִן הַגַּת לָעִיר, הַשֶּׁבַח לַשֵּׁנִי וִיצִיאוֹת מִבֵּיתוֹ:
Celui qui apporte des fruits Ma'aser Sheni [deuxième dîme, qui doit être mangée à Jérusalem] d'un endroit cher à un endroit bon marché, ou d'un endroit bon marché à un endroit cher, les rachète [les fruits] en fonction de leur valeur au destination. Celui qui apporte des fruits d'un grenier à la ville, ou des cruches de vin du pressoir à la ville, la valeur ajoutée est Ma'aser Sheni et les dépenses proviennent de sa maison.

English Explanation of Mishnah Maaser Sheni
One who carries produce of maaser sheni from a place where it is expensive to a place where it is cheap, or from a place where it is cheap to a place where it is expensive, he redeems it according to the market price of the place [where he redeems it]. The price for the maaser sheni produce is determined by market-value of the place where it was redeemed. It doesn’t matter what the price of the produce was in the place where he grew and picked the produce.

Bartenura on Mishnah Maaser Sheni
השבח לשני – what they are worth more in the city, the [increased] profit/gain belongs to the Second Tithe. And what he expended to bring them from the field to the city, he has pay from his estate.

English Explanation of Mishnah Maaser Sheni
One who brings produce from the threshing-floor into the city, or jars of wine from the wine-press into the city, the increase in the price belongs to maaser sheni and the expenses [must be covered] from his household. As produce and wine is brought into the city from the threshing floor, its price goes up in value because it is now closer to its market. This increase in price goes into the cost of redeeming the value of the maaser sheni. So if wine was one dinar for a jug at the threshing floor and 2 dinars in the city, if he redeems it in the city, he must pay the higher price. In addition, the expenses for carrying the wine into the city, hiring porters, donkeys, etc. come out of his pocket and are not taken out of the maaser sheni money.
