# 1186 Early Sale
Question
Can you sell the Aliyos of Simchas Torah on Shemini Atzeres, or is it like preparing from one Yom Tov to the next and prohibited?
Answer
Although Nitei Gavriel (Sukos 93: 1) rules to be stringent and to not begin selling the aliyos until the night of Simchas Torah has began, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is to be lenient. He permits auctioning even during the day of Shemini Atzeres.
