...In that case the end of this thing is a mess.
Ryuuk has a monologue about whether he should tell him or not, implying that the rule matters here...but then then ending is him writing his name down to coincidentally kill him right when the rule would take effect?

The only thing I can come up with here that makes any sense is that the rule is the Shinigami themself must kill the user and buyer if they sell the note by writing their name, which would mean my original point still stands, but...how would they do that if the buyer takes it....oooof, yeah that's a messy last couple of pages either way.

Really, one of those two pages has to go. It's a stretch for this to make sense at all of both of them are there.
